Early Detection of Alzheimer's: Catching the Silent Phase

Alzheimer's disease is a growing concern, currently affecting over 7 million Americans, projected to rise to 15 million by 2050. This condition presents a significant financial burden, estimated to be a trillion-dollar global problem. Alzheimer's progression occurs in four phases, starting with an asymptomatic phase where no symptoms are visible, yet underlying issues can be detected through advanced diagnostics like PET scans and spinal fluid analysis. A promising new test, PTAU217, allows early identification of potential Alzheimer's risk, similar to identifying insulin resistance before type 2 diabetes manifests. Following the asymptomatic phase, individuals typically experience Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) for an average of ten years, during which people notice a decline in cognitive abilities despite not receiving definitive diagnoses from healthcare providers.
