AI Method Predicts Alzheimer's Risk Years Before Symptoms Emerge
- Researchers developed an AI method to predict Alzheimer's up to 7 years before symptom onset by analyzing patient records
- High cholesterol and osteoporosis, especially in women, were identified as key Alzheimer’s predictors
- The AI unveiled connections between Alzheimer’s risk and specific genes like APOE4 and MS4A6A
- This showcases AI’s potential to reveal disease patterns and biological drivers for early diagnosis
- The approach could be applied to other complex diseases like lupus and endometriosis to enhance precision medicine
