Memory test scoring for Alzheimer's disease: Mayo Clinic Radio

On the Mayo Clinic Radio podcast, Dr. Michelle Mielke, a Mayo Clinic epidemiologist and an author on the study, will explain how memory testing is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. This video originally aired Dec. 21, 2019. When it comes to Alzheimer’s disease, men are typically diagnosed earlier than women. But why? New research suggests it might be the test used to score a person’s memory. Women are stronger at verbal memory performance, potentially masking early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. A study published recently in American Academy of Neurology suggests that adjusting the test scoring to consider women's skill at verbal memory performance could help women be diagnosed earlier with Alzheimer's and it's precursor, mild cognitive impairment.
