The burden of dementia will increase as the Australian population ages and grows in coming decades. Early and accurate diagnosis remains challenging, and disproportionately so for particular groups, including rural communities. Recent advances in technology, however, now allow reliable measurement of blood biomarkers that could improve diagnosis in a range of settings. We discuss the most promising biomarker candidates for translation into clinical practice and research in the near future.
随着澳大利亚人口老龄化和未来几十年的增长,痴呆症的负担将会增加。早期和准确的诊断仍然具有挑战性,对于某些特定群体,包括农村社区,更是如此。然而,最近的技术进步现在可以可靠地测量血液生物标志物,这可以提高一系列环境下的诊断水平。我们讨论了最有前途的生物标志物候选物,以在不久的将来转化为临床实践和研究。
