Midlife Exercise Linked to Reduced Alzheimer's Risk
A Spanish study of 337 adults showed that increasing weekly exercise to 2.5 hours between ages 45-65 correlated with less amyloid buildup in the brain, a protein linked to Alzheimer's, and greater brain volume in memory-related areas; even minimal exercise provided benefits compared to sedentary lif...

Blood Tests to Improve Alzheimer's Detection and Treatment
New blood tests for Alzheimer's disease, showing up to 91% improved diagnostic accuracy in research, could significantly improve detection and treatment, allowing earlier intervention with new FDA-approved drugs like Leqembi and Kisunla, while the ALZ-NET system will track long-term effects.
