RFK Jr urges Alzheimer’s screening but blunts key panel that could drive research
US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has advocated for improved Alzheimer’s screening, but the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which could have advanced research on practical screening methods, has not met for over a year. Experts suggest the evidence supporting cognitive screening is not strong, and the panel's inaction has delayed potential recommendations on cognitive decline and other health topics.
