Researchers from Cambridge Universityin the UK, have detected in a series of tests five indications neurocognitive disorderindication of the first stage of neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer. This is shown in the magazine ‘Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association’.

This study focuses on increasing the early detection of these diseases. Also in improving the help system for selecting patients who can undergo experimental therapy.

One of the obstacles is the delay in detection. For this reason, researchers go to biobank, a biomedical database available to clinical researchers. Tests collected from Problem solvingfrom Storagefrom weatherfrom reactionfrom grip strength, measures of weight gain or loss and fall.

This sampling allowed us to find out that people who had poorer outcomes developed Alzheimer’s or dementia frontotemporal.

• Resolution from problem.
• time reaction.
• list memory number.
• prospective memory or the ability to remember to do something.
• Test from in pairs of numbers relatives.

Moreover, they also discovered that those who were suffering Alzheimer more likely to suffer a fall. And those diagnosed with progressive supranuclear paralysis (PSP) they fell twice.

For diseases like parkinson or dementia, the individual’s overall health was worse at baseline. “Looking at the patient’s history, it became clear to us that they were subtly exhibiting some degree of cognitive impairment years before their symptoms were sufficiently pronounced,” they explain.
