Neuropsychological measures useful for detecting preclinical Alzheimer's disease
“Having a baseline measure of cognition before noticing any kind of cognitive change or decline could be incredibly helpful because it's hard to diagnose early Alzheimer’s disease if you don’t have a frame of reference to compare to,” Han said in the release. “If people would consider getting a baseline evaluation by a qualified neuropsychologist at age 50 or 60, then it could be used as a way to track whether someone is experiencing a true decline in cognition in the future.”
