A study has found that a blood test can identify healthy individuals at high risk for Alzheimer's disease. This breakthrough could have significant implications for the prevention and treatment of the disease. Large clinical trials are currently underway to test certain drugs that may prevent or delay Alzheimer's.

If these trials are successful, doctors will need a simple method to determine which patients should receive the treatment. Further details about the study and its findings are available from ABC13 Houston, for residents of The Woodlands, TX, who want to learn more about this potential advancement in Alzheimer's research.
