Alzheimer's disease is an inevitable and incurable disorder that leads to the lowest quality of life. This disease causes a lack of cognitive abilities in the area of ​​memory, reason and the recognition of familiar places and faces; This disease is predicted to affect 16 million people in the United States by 2050 unless a viable treatment or cure is found. Because this disease affects the fastest growing age group, ongoing clinical trials are working to find effective tests for pre-Alzheimer's. However, some believe that these pre-screening methods are unreliable. Those who favor the idea of ​​pre-Alzheimer's testing believe that cognitive screening, neuropsychological exams, brain image and spinal fluid tests are the key to detecting this disease. early in life. Through cognitive ability screening, the clinical administrator is able to track and compare language abilities associated with cognitive abilities over defined time intervals. During neuropsychological examinations, the clinician is able to detect early characteristics of Alzheimer's disease and recognize areas that will be affected. Brain imaging allows clinicians to diagnose Alzheimer's disease with 90 percent accuracy. Finally, in the spinal fluid, clinicians can identify a certain protein that is 80-90% accurate and which people will later suffer from Alzheimer's disease. On the other hand, those who question the capabilities of pre-Alzheimer's screening believe that there is a downside to each of the testing methods listed above. A failure in the cognitive ability test has many causes other than Alzheimer's disease and helps distinguish which functions are most affected. Neuropsychological tests are extensive, time-consuming, and can cause stress in the recipient leading to the middle of the article......uters, T. (2011).
