One in three people over the age of 85 in Spain suffers Alzheimer according to data from the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN). Thousands of doctors, scientists, and researcher They have struggled for decades to find the symptoms and causes that help advance the development of techniques that improve the quality of life of these patients and to anticipate the future to stop the disorder as soon as possible. The pandemic has exacerbated the behavioral disorders of Alzheimer’s sufferers and theory about signs that can remind you of early Alzheimer’s spread among the expert community. Since cambridge they have also provided key signs that could signal the future development of Alzheimer’s. And they are this.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge (UK) in a paper published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association determined that with Alzheimer’s it was possible Up until about a decade before diagnosis.

Study with half a million Britons

By this time, and in many cases, when patients access trials of tests to correct their brain problems, it is usually too late to restore cognitive function. However, this could change in a short time thanks to the work of specialists like this one from Cambridge, who analyzes the genetic, health and lifestyle records of half a million Britons between the ages of 40 and 69, to determine that there are five main signs that may mark the future development of Alzheimer’s in humans: the decreased ability to solve problemsthat reaction time to stimulilack of memory for remember specific number listthat prospective memory lossor what’s the same, not remembering things you should do in the nearest future, and Failed the family figure matching test (don’t set your uncle with your aunt, his brother with his nephew…).

Reduced problem-solving ability, reaction time to stimuli and lack of prospective memory from age 50, are among the list of symptoms

In addition, this study also shows that those who a decade later end up suffering from Alzheimer’s have fall problem in the past.

Undoubtedly, this progress made by the University of Cambridge is an important advance for screening people over 50 years old and initiating active surveillance in the highest risk groups to try to intervene earlier and help reduce the risk of developing severe Alzheimer’s disease.
