dementia One of the most serious diseases that affect the elderly and lead to serious complications, the most important of which is memory loss, and the seriousness of the situation lies in the lack of a definitive treatment for this disease, which makes researchers always focus on creating mechanisms for its early detection to manage and control its symptoms.
And researchers from the German University of Göttingen identified particles in the blood that could indicate dementia, through blood analysis, after conducting a number of human studies and laboratory experiments, to measure particles in the blood that may give results about the disease, according to what was stated on the website Medical Express.
The researchers explained that when symptoms of dementia appear, the brain has been significantly damaged, but if dementia is detected early, it contributes to delaying serious complications for the patient for a long time, and the test depends on examining blood molecules called “microRNAs”, which affect the production of proteins, they are molecules Microbes whose presence in the blood is linked to mental fitness, and through extensive studies in humans, mice and cell cultures, researchers have finally identified three blood molecules, the levels of which have been linked to mental performance.
The researchers analyzed data from both young and cognitively normal individuals and the elderly with mild cognitive impairment, and the results found that there is an association between specific blood molecules and mental fitness, the lower the blood level, the better the people perform on cognitive tests.
The researchers also found that in those whose blood markers were very high, about 90 percent of them developed Alzheimer’s disease within two years. A high blood level of these three microparticles was shown to be an early warning of dementia.
