Analysis of blood samples collected from over 50,000 healthy volunteers enrolled in the UK Biobank project has resulted in researchers identifying patterns of four proteins that predicted the onset of dementia. When combined with traditional risk factors such as age and gender, it has enabled the researchers to forecast dementia with an estimated 90% accuracy almost 15 years before people received clinical confirmation of the disease. With over 55 million people currently living with dementia worldwide, the research is seen as a major step towards developing a blood test that can predict dementia years before a formal diagnosis
