There’s now a blood test for Alzheimer’s. An interesting part of this story is that they proved that the test was modifiable with certain diet and exercise changes.

“The p-tau217 predicted with nearly 100% certainty whether or not the trial participants had Alzheimer’s disease pathology in their brains.”
“The p-Tau217 biomarker is one of the most exciting advances in neurology for decades, giving us a new opportunity to accurately predict and potentially prevent (or at least substantially delay) MCI and Alzheimer’s. That it rises so early in the course of the disease—which incubates over 20 years—gives us a long runway of opportunity to intervene, be it with lifestyle factors or drugs. “
