Researchers have built a blood-based “clock” that estimates when Alzheimer’s symptoms will likely begin, potentially years before any memory loss appears. The model, validated in two major ...

Researchers believe the test could be a new way to foresee how quickly the disease will progress, but evidence so far is preliminary. A growing body of research links insulin resistance, a hallmark of ...

A long-term study of older adults with moderate hearing loss found that hearing aids did not lead to better performance on memory or thinking tests, but the story did not end there. Over seven years, ...

New tests of blood and spinal fluid can identify people experiencing memory loss from Alzheimer's disease. Latest Alzheimer's lab tests focus on memory loss, not brain plaques When doctors suspect ...
