‘Markers’ of Alzheimer’s Don’t Doom You to Dementia
Even if you discover that you have the first biological signs of Alzheimer’s, you are not doomed to develop the crippling dementia, a new study suggests.
“Just because you have amyloid [proteins] in the brain doesn’t mean you’re going to get dementia tomorrow. It doesn’t mean you’re going to get dementia in five years,” said lead researcher Ron Brookmeyer. He’s a professor of biostatistics with UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health.
