Summary

This study looked at whether measuring certain proteins (amyloid peptides) in the blood can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease or predict if someone with mild memory problems will develop Alzheimer's. Over 1,000 older adults with either mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's took part. Researchers measured their blood protein levels and tracked their health over time to see if these markers could forecast disease progression.
