Summary

This study aims to find early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease by analyzing body fluids, genes, and brain images in 6,000 older adults in China. Researchers hope to create a diagnostic kit and a risk prediction model that can identify the disease years before symptoms appear. Participants include people with Alzheimer's, those at risk, and healthy volunteers.
