prediction of dementia

Laboratory: - plasma proteomic profiles predict dementia 10 years in advance [1] - plasma GFAP, NEFL, GDF15 & LTBP2 consistently associated with dementia - people with higher plasma GFAP are 2.3 times more likely to develop dementia - plasma GFAP identified as optimal marker for prediction of dementia Notes: - there is a dementia risk calculator based on clinical factors - an MRI score is said to predict dementia [2] - cardiovascular risk factors are said to predict dementia in CAIDE trial - there is discussion of predicting dementia in primary care [3] - artificial intelligence analyzed voice recordings may help predict which patients with mild cognitive impairment develop will Alzheimer's dementia within 6 years [4]
