BLOOD TEST
PREDICTS ALZHEIMER’S: http://www.lbnelert.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/TEST1.jpgResearchers at Georgetown University have published a
study in Nature Medicine claiming they have found a way to
successfully predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease with 90
percent accuracy, thanks to a test that relies on examining fat
levels in the blood. The researchers compared the blood samples of
53 people with Alzheimer’s with 53 people who remained mentally
agile over five years to conclude there were significant
differences in levels of 10 lipids or fats in the blood. Studying
these lipid levels was the key to predicting the disorder, though
it needs to be tested on a larger sample size to be confirmed. With
the ability to predict the degenerative brain disorder comes the
ethical challenge of whether people would want to know they will
suffer from it. Said the Alzheimer’s Society’s Dr. Doug Brown, “If
this does develop in the future, people must be given a choice
about whether they would want to know, and fully understand the
implications.”
