An online 'Cognitive Function Test' developed by Oxford University researchers will help detect the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and help cut the risk of developing the disease.

Professor David Smith said, "Not only does the test give people positive prevention steps to reduce risk in the long-term but also there's an annual checkup so people could track how diet and lifestyle changes impact on their cognitive function." He hopes the results of people doing the test would provide vital information to help develop a national prevention strategy.
Currently there are no drug treatments for Alzheimer's and the only way to combat the disease is by reducing risk through lifestyle changes.
