A method developed by a Japanese team using three questions allows easy screening of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment, it said Thursday, with a rising number of patients calling for early diagnosis and treatment.
In the study, the questions were posed to 108 dementia patients, including those with Alzheimer’s disease, and 47 people with no cognitive issues. The questioners also checked whether the respondents refrained from answering the questions directly or turned their heads toward an accompanying person, such as a family member, for help.
Among the respondents, amyloid beta proteins, seen to cause Alzheimer’s when accumulated, were also around three times higher on average, it said.
