New blood test may predict Alzheimer's risk

Dr. Jeremy Koppel, from the Litwin-Zucker Center, discusses a new blood test that could predict Alzheimer's risk within 5-10 years.

Dr. Jeremy Koppel, co-director of the Litwin-Zucker Center, discusses a new blood test capable of predicting Alzheimer's risk up to 10 years in advance. The test identifies elevated levels of a tau protein biomarker, P-tau217, indicating a higher likelihood of cognitive decline. Koppel highlights its potential for early diagnosis and understanding Alzheimer's progression.
