In its early stages the Alzheimer’s disease is not easy to detect. To be a disease that is behaving in a gradual and progressive, their first instances are rather diffuse and far from clear, which makes it very difficult task of doctors for diagnosis.

A group of neurologists of Addenbrooke Hospital in the United Kingdom led by Dr. Jeremy Brown have developed a very effective mini-test that could be a big help to detect the disease in its previous stages.

This test has been tested with 700 individuals, right in a 93 percent of the cases in which the disease was indeed real, which doubles the percentage of wisdom of mechanisms used conventionally.

Questions such as “Who is the prime minister?”, “why a carrot is like a pope?”, “What year began the First World War?”, “List four creatures that begin with the letter ‘S’” and a series of sums are some of the indications that contains the test.

In spite of prove easy questions to answer, the error in them may be indicating an Alzheimer’s disease in early stages of development, with appropriate medication can remain static without generating the havoc this disease occurs in the health of their affected.
