New AI Model Predicts Alzheimer's Risk Years Before Symptoms
- New AI model can predict Alzheimer's up to 7 years before symptoms appear by analyzing health records and finding patterns
- Model tested accurately 72% of the time on records of people later diagnosed with Alzheimer's
- Found connections between Alzheimer's and conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency, depression
- Also found links between Alzheimer's and erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostate in men; osteoporosis in women
- Research shows potential of using AI and health data to predict and understand development of Alzheimer's and other diseases
