A new study found that a blood test can predict dementia years before an official diagnosis
In the largest study of its kind, scientists have discovered that a blood test detecting specific proteins could predict dementia up to 15 years before a person receives an official diagnosis — with a remarkable 90% accuracy.
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Over 900,000 people in the UK are living with the memory-robbing condition, yet less than two-thirds of people receive a formal diagnosis.
This medical breakthrough is significant, because those with undiagnosed dementia, and their families, cannot attend clinical trials, have an organized healthcare plan, or access essential support. Improving dementia diagnoses would provide earlier support and give patients a longer, healthier, and more prosperous life.

A real estate agent and community housing organization are partnering to help voucher holders in New York City get housing
In 2016, the longtime, Brooklyn-based social services provider Neighbors Together recognized a need in their community: voucher holders were having trouble finding housing due to source-of-income discrimination.
Advocacy and education turned into more hands-on action when they looked to start working with a real estate agent.
Suzanne Adler had previously worked with voucher holders and had been “disgusted” at how they were treated by her fellow agents and landlords. She applied to work with Neighbors Together to make a difference.
In addition to helping voucher holders actually find housing, Adler and Neighbors Together host workshops and gatherings to dismantle bias against voucher holders, who are often stigmatized as “bad tenants.”
Against the backdrop of an affordable housing shortage, and in a city where half of apartments are held by agencies, they hope their work creates a more equitable and sustainable housing environment where tenants, agents, and landlords work together — not against each other.
