Your Nose Could Detect Alzheimer’s Years Before Symptoms Begin
Researchers at Germany's DZNE and LMU discovered that a declining sense of smell can signal Alzheimer’s disease years before memory loss appears.

These findings could enable earlier diagnosis and more effective use of amyloid‑beta antibody therapies.
