Alzheimer's Blogging:

Check out Alzheimer's Weekly this week. There are wonderful articles on
research which identified the memory and brain scan tests that appear to predict best whether a person with cognitive problems might develop Alzheimer's disease. Participants were between the ages of 55 and 90 and were followed for an average of 1.9 years. During that time, 28 of the participants developed Alzheimer's disease.

People who showed abnormal results on both PET scans and episodic memory tests were nearly 12 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who scored normally on both measures. Please check out the article called TEST COMBO GIVES BEST WARNING.

They also have another article on Self Test Screens for Dementia's such as Alzheimer's. It's a free and simple 15-minute self-administered test to screen for early dementia could help speed diagnosis and treatment of memory disorders, including Alzheimer’s.
