A recent study on adults aged 24 to 44 years found that established risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, such as cardiovascular risk factors, aging, and inflammatory markers, are associated with cognitive performance. Higher CAIDE scores were linked to decreased cognitive outcomes, while Tau concentrations and inflammatory markers showed significant associations with lower cognitive scores, indicating detectable Alzheimer's disease risk profiles before middle age. The findings highlight the need for early prevention in the U.S. population.
