UCLA Health Researchers Discover Four Pathways Leading to Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s doesn’t strike at random: These 4 early-warning patterns tell the story

UCLA scientists mined millions of electronic health records and uncovered four distinct “roadways” that funnel people toward Alzheimer’s—ranging from mental-health struggles to vascular troubles. Following these breadcrumb trails proved far better at predicting who will develop dementia than single risk factors. The findings hint that spotting—and halting—specific sequences early could rewrite how we prevent the disease.
