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

UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – UCLA researchers analyzed nearly 25,000 patients and identified four progression pathways that may improve early risk detection and personalized prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

  • In July 2025, researchers at UCLA Health uncovered four unique progression routes to Alzheimer's disease by examining the electronic medical records of almost 25,000 individuals.
  • The study aimed to move beyond isolated risk factors, using advanced computational methods to map sequential diagnostic patterns indicating disease progression.
  • Researchers analyzed 5,762 patients contributing 6,794 unique trajectories and identified four major clusters: mental health, encephalopathy, mild cognitive impairment, and vascular disease pathways.
  • Mingzhou Fu explained that sequences of multiple diagnoses can reveal higher chances of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to considering individual conditions alone, highlighting a potential shift in strategies for early diagnosis and prevention.
  • The findings suggest clinicians might improve Alzheimer's diagnosis and tailor interventions by recognizing sequential patterns, with validation in diverse populations supporting risk stratification advances.
