Description

James Pike and co-authors studied in 2024 whether blood markers for Alzheimer disease in midlife predict later brain amyloid build-up. Blood tests promise a cheap, gentle way to track the disease across life. Stored samples came from a community study, taken in midlife and again in late life.

Brain scans in 2014 and 2015 sorted who had amyloid build-up. Midlife marker levels alone did not predict that outcome. Late-life levels of three markers did, as did change over time for two of them. Using all measures from both ages sorted cases best, though late-life measures alone came close. The authors call for more long-term work.
