In what way would having this biomarker change the way you live your life? Is there any gain in this knowledge?

maybe after getting a diagnosis they could donate more to preventative research

I was trained to ask, when considering a test or an intervention, “will the result of this test make a difference to how this person is treated (if not, don’t do it), or doing this intervention make a difference to the patient’s life (if not, don’t do it).”

There is currently medication that delays the progression of Alzheimer’s. If started early, the progression would be even slower. and new medication is currently underdevelopment.
