Maine Researchers Are Working on a Test that Could Diagnose Alzheimer's Disease Decades Early

FINLAND, JUL 14 – Researchers found blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer's in 2,051 middle-aged Finns, suggesting early detection could improve preventive care for those at risk.

  • Since 2016, a team based in Bar Harbor has been developing a test that uses a combination of retinal imaging and blood analysis to identify early biomarkers indicative of Alzheimer's disease.
  • This initiative responds to the need for earlier, less invasive diagnostics as evidence shows Alzheimer's processes begin decades before symptoms appear.
  • A Finnish study led by Suvi Rovio found blood-based biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's in middle-aged people, highlighting new insights starting from middle age.
  • Marja Heiskanen highlighted that their research sheds light on biomarker measurements and related influences beginning in middle age, underlining the importance of early indicators of disease.
  • These advances may enable earlier detection and preventive treatment as USC Brain Health expands clinics in high-risk areas like Orangeburg with limited neurologists.
