## In brief

- Researchers in Finland studied people diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, meaning diagnosis at age 65 or younger.
- In these patients, high blood pressure and high cholesterol were no more common than in same-age people without the disease.
- Depression and dizziness were reported before diagnosis, according to the headline and summary.

## Why it matters

Blood pressure and cholesterol are well-known risk factors for Alzheimer's in older people, but this finding suggests they may not explain early-onset cases, so clinicians may need other early signs when assessing younger patients.
