Summary
This study aimed to find very early signs of Alzheimer's disease in the brain before memory problems start. Researchers used brain scans to measure changes in areas like the hippocampus in 304 retired farmers aged 65 and older who had no reported thinking difficulties. The goal was to improve early diagnosis so future treatments might slow the disease down.
