Inflammation Marker Identified as Potential Early Indicator for Alzheimer's Risk

Research suggests that elevated levels of neutrophils, a common inflammation marker in blood, are associated with a higher likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias years before symptoms appear. This finding indicates that a standard blood test could potentially identify individuals at risk, opening avenues for earlier interventions. The study also proposes that immune cells might play a direct role in the advancement of the disease.
