A groundbreaking new study in the UK is rolling out a simple blood test designed to detect dementia decades before symptoms develop. University of Cambridge scientists will use the test to measure brain changes associated with dementia, offering an alternative to more costly brain scans. The study, focusing on brain inflammation, particularly relevant to frontotemporal dementia, aims to identify individuals at risk early enough for potential disease-modifying treatments.
Race Against DementiaA simple blood test designed to detect dementia decades before it develops is being rolled out across the UK as part of a "very exciting" new study.

Dementia mostly affects people over 65, but frontotemporal dementia tends to start at a younger age, though it can affect older people too. Dr Richard Oakley, associate director of research and innovation at Alzheimer's Society, said: "This is another exciting step in revolutionising how we could diagnose the diseases that cause dementia in an early and accurate way.
