A new study revealed four clusters of psychiatric & cardiovascular symptoms that can lead to Alzheimer's disease in stages, where people age with daily memory and speech deficits that will adversely affect activities of daily living.
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, US, said, there are new implications of the study in understanding how this disorder can be develop in stages instead of isolated risk factors.
"We found that multi-step trajectories may indicate greater risk factors for Alzheimer's disease more that single conditions," said Mingzho Fu, a medical informatics pre-doctoral student at the University of California.
"Recognizing these paths may dramatically alter early detection and prevention," Fu said.
The study, published by The LANCET Discovery Science in eBioMedicine Part of THE LANCET Discovery Science, utilized records from the "University of California Health Data Warehouse".
