I took the SAGE test and did very well. Still, at 55, I have poor word recall, balance problems, and increased difficulty in solving problems. My mother had vascular dementia, which she developed in her mid-30s.
Thanks for the comment, Lucille. If you tested well but still have concerns, I would suggest it becomes particularly important to talk to your primary care doctor about those concerns and ask for a full medical evaluation to rule out (or identify) other possible causes of cognitive problems that are treatable. And please remember, what's good for the heart is good for the brain. Given your concerns and your mother's healthy history, anything you do to promote heart health -- diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep -- can only benefit you.
I had the big bad virus this past January. My husband is scaring me by telling me he notices cognitive changes. I'm going to take the test but I'm scared for my future. I'm 61.
This is the best choice you could be making right now and I applaud you for it. Once you have taken this test, I encourage you to have it scored by your doctor, and to use it a way to begin a conversation with your doctor about these cognitive concerns. Whatever is going on here, the sooner it is identified, the better the options are for addressing it. My thoughts are with you.
I am 20 but I have atypical migraine disorder and I’ve been having balance difficulties and trouble recalling words more and more and my perception seems altered lately. I’m terrified for my future and I just want to know how to prevent Alzheimer’s at all costs.
It's important to that the two most important risk factors for Alzheimer's are advanced age and lifestyle. It's important for you to receive proper diagnosis and treatment for the cognitive issues you're facing right now. In terms of the future risk of Alzheimer's, the best defense to adopt healthy habits over the course of your adult life that have been shown to help prevent dementia, including exercise, proper diet, stress management and sleep. It's also important to manage your blood pressure and avoid obesity. My thoughts are with you.
