A new biomarker for dementias

A new research study from Swansea University Medical School is evaluating the levels of a stomach hormone called ghrelin in people with dementia.

The researchers are looking for individuals who are:

  • aged 60 or over
  • generally healthy or diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or Lewy Body Dementia

Qualified volunteers will be asked to take part in a survey and donate a small sample of blood for research purposes while receiving all study-related care at no cost.
