2 subtle signs of Alzheimer’s may appear as early as age 45
A recent study suggests that subtle signs of Alzheimer's disease may appear as early as age 45. Researchers found that the accumulation of a toxic protein known as pTau181, along with self-reported memory issues, could indicate an increased risk of developing the disease. Early detection of these signs could lead to better treatment options and preventive measures.
- ▪Alzheimer's disease primarily affects individuals over 65, but signs may emerge two decades earlier.
- ▪The study involved over 1,000 participants, with an average age of 45 at the time of assessment.
- ▪Identifying early symptoms could improve treatment outcomes and allow for lifestyle changes to promote brain health.
