Proteins that predict future dementia, Alzheimer’s risk, identified: Large study of plasma proteins and dementia illuminates the biology of dementia and may help lead to treatments –

The development of dementia late in life is associated with abnormal blood levels of dozens of proteins up to five years earlier, according to a new study. Most of these proteins were not known to be linked to dementia before, suggesting new targets for prevention therapies.
