AI Analysis Uncovers Potential New Alzheimer's Risk Factors That Could Lead to Future Treatments
-
Researchers used AI to analyze medical records and uncover new potential Alzheimer's risk factors like osteoporosis, depression, and low vitamin D levels.
-
The analysis also confirmed known Alzheimer's risk factors like heart disease, high cholesterol, and inflammatory conditions.
-
The connections found don't mean these factors will always lead to Alzheimer's, but could act as red flags for future diagnosis.
-
Treatments for some of the surfaced risk factors could potentially lower Alzheimer's risk, which researchers plan to analyze further.
-
The research demonstrates the power of AI in finding new insights into complex diseases like Alzheimer's and suggesting possible new treatment approaches.
