A new Johns Hopkins study reveals a non-invasive brain scan, QSM MRI, that can predict dementia risk years before symptoms appear by measuring iron levels. Elevated brain iron is linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, offering opportunities for early interventions and lifestyle adjustments. This breakthrough could revolutionize dementia care by enabling timely treatments and improved cognitive health.Early dementia warning: New brain scan links high iron levels to memory loss
