An Alzheimer’s test consisting of 12 questions is a screening tool used to assess cognitive impairment. It is a brief and easy-to-administer test that can help to identify individuals who may be at risk for Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
The test typically includes questions about orientation (e.g., “What is today’s date?”), memory (e.g., “What did you have for breakfast?”), and language (e.g., “What is the name of this object?”). The results of the test can help to determine whether further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary.
