Alzheimer's disease and the first signs of memory loss
About the study commissioned by Diex Recherche:
Are you one of those people who have noticed that you forget a little more than before?
With age, it is common to experience forgetfulness or moments of confusion, but for some, these signs can mark the beginning of more serious memory loss.
This phenomenon can become a source of worry and pose daily challenges.
Failing to address these changes can mean remaining in uncertainty and missing the chance to better understand these symptoms, or even take steps to preserve your cognitive well-being.
People with early Alzheimer’s disease may not have any symptoms and may not have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. If you participate in this study, you will have a blood test to check if you may have a protein in your brain that could cause symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in the future.
It is possible to be screened to see if you have early Alzheimer’s disease by filling out a form.
