Description

James Russell Pike and co-authors follow Alzheimer blood markers across decades of life in a 2025 study. Simple blood tests promise a cheap, gentle way to detect the disease's changes long before memory fails. What is unclear is how those markers move from midlife onward, and how well they predict the amyloid plaques seen on brain scans.

The team drew on a long-running community study of heart and brain health. About three hundred dementia-free participants had MRI and amyloid scans in 2014 and 2015, with blood markers tracked over time. Seeing when blood signals turn, and in whom, could shape screening plans for whole populations.
