Study of people at risk for Alzheimer’s in Shanghai
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows people who are closely related to someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to see who develops memory or brain changes over time. It may help researchers understand risk and early signs, which could guide prevention in families like yours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a first-degree relative of someone with Alzheimer’s (parent, child, or full sibling).
- You should not already have dementia (no diagnosed dementia).
- You must be age 50 or older, and you must live in Shanghai for at least 1 year.
- You should plan to stay in Shanghai for the next 5 years.
- You need to be able to complete study visits, physical exams, brain imaging, and blood/other specimen collection.
- You should not have major conditions that can also cause memory decline (like stroke-related brain disease or Parkinson’s).

This study follows older adults in a specific area of Shanghai to understand how memory and thinking change with age. If you join, you'll have regular check-ups, including blood tests and brain scans, to help researchers learn more about cognitive decline.
This study looks at how memory and thinking skills change in older adults living in the Yuyuan community. By taking part, you'll help researchers learn more about brain health in aging, and you'll have free health check-ups like memory tests and brain scans.
This study uses brain imaging to understand early changes in Alzheimer's disease. It may help people with or without memory problems learn more about their condition and support future treatments.
This study uses a digital tool to help detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease in people aged 50 and older. It aims to find high-risk individuals who may benefit from early monitoring.
This study aims to find early signs of Alzheimer's in the community through blood tests and assessments. It's for people who can think clearly and agree to participate without major health issues.
This trial looks for new ways to diagnose memory and thinking problems earlier. It involves a memory test, brain scan, and blood draw to find markers that could help identify cognitive disorders.
