{{British scientists have made a “major step forward” in developing a blood test to predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.}}<\/p>\n

Research in more than 1,000 people has identified a set of proteins in the blood which can predict the start of the dementia with 87% accuracy.<\/p>\n

The findings, published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia, will be used to improve trials for new dementia drugs.<\/p>\n

Experts warned that the test was not yet ready for doctors’ surgeries.<\/p>\n

Research into treatments for Alzheimer’s disease has been plagued by failure. Between 2002 and 2012, 99.6% of trials aimed at preventing or reversing the disease flopped.<\/p>\n

Doctors believe the failure is down to treating patients when it is already too late, since symptoms appear around a decade after the start of the disease.<\/p>\n

Identifying patients earlier is one of the priorities for dementia research.<\/p>\n
