📍 How it ended
Scientists identified that work performance and blood biomarkers, such as circular RNAs, could signal dementia risk up to 15 years before a formal diagnosis. These markers and cognitive testing were reported to improve the prediction of early Alzheimer's decline.

The obvious questions
How early can signs of dementia be detected?
According to reports from Newsweek and The Economic Times, signs may be revealed up to 15 years before diagnosis.
What non-medical indicators are mentioned?
Coverage from News-Medical and The Economic Times indicates that work performance and productivity may reveal early signs of brain disease.
Which biomarkers are being utilized for prediction?
Reports mention blood proteins, blood circular RNAs, and pTau217 as tools for predicting Alzheimer's disease progression.
The story so far
Recent scientific findings suggest that brain disease can be detected long before symptoms manifest. Evidence includes a decline in work productivity and the presence of specific blood proteins and circular RNAs that signal risk decades in advance.
Coverage from Newsweek, The Economic Times, and News-Medical emphasizes the link between work performance and early-onset dementia. Clinical Lab Products and the University of Miami report that blood biomarkers and cognitive testing are improving the prediction of Alzheimer's progression, with blood circular RNAs outperforming pTau217.
Future developments involve the blood-based biomarker market for Alzheimer's disease. Coverage from Al Día News characterizes these advancements as a new frontier in the fight against the disease.
