💨 Abstract

A study led by McGill University researchers has discovered that a blood test, originally developed to detect Alzheimer's disease, can predict the development of Dementia with Lewy Bodies in patients with iRBD sleep disorder, years before symptoms occur. The test analyzes two proteins in the blood that serve as biomarkers for Alzheimer's, and it correctly identified dementia in nearly 90% of the patients who later developed the disease.
