The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate Alzheimer's in family members, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as Alzheimer's Disease. By age 80, people with Alzheimer's disease in both parents had a 54% risk, 1.5 times the risk of Alzheimer's in people with just one affected parent, and 5 times the risk of people with two unaffected parents.
