Researchers have found a way to do a blood test
There are significant benefits to early disease detection, because we know now that many of the same conditions that lead to vascular disease are also significant risk factors for Alzheimer’s,” Robert Nagele, a professor at the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, New Jersey, said in a statement. Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke and being overweight can all threaten a person’s vascular health, in turn raising the risk of Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

New research shows that getting a little sick for a little time can actually help fighting Alzheimer’s
The study found that a brief activation of the immune system (inflammation) is actually a way to fight off deficits associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, as is the case with chronic brain inflammation in the human body, when that immune response extends for a longer period of time, it reverses gains and fuels further neurological decline.
