Detecting Preclinical AD: Robust Longitudinal Cognitive Norms for LATINX

This research looks at how memory and thinking skills change in middle-aged Spanish people who don't have the brain changes usually seen in Alzheimer's disease. Scientists checked their brain fluid to confirm this. They used special methods to track these changes over time and created new ways to compare their scores that are more sensitive than regular tests. The results suggest these new methods might be slightly better at finding very early, subtle declines in memory, which could be a sign of preclinical Alzheimer's. This study hopes to provide doctors with another tool to help spot early changes that might lead to Alzheimer's later in life.
