As the median age of our population rises, so does the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. With advances in technology, it's easier to determine brain age and identify blood-based Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. A new study links trauma exposure with brain age blood markers of risk for Alzheimer's disease.
