Blood-based biomarkers may predict mild behavioral impairment in older Asian adults

Healio | March 13, 2025

Analysis of blood-based biomarkers may be a reliable method to predict behavioral issues in older populations of Asian descent with varied neuropathology, researchers reported in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.

Liao and fellow researchers sought to examine the mechanisms behind mild behavioral impairment (MBI) and whether a series of Alzheimer’s disease-related blood-based biomarkers could predict its incidence in a small cohort of older adults of Asian descent.
