Summary
Brief summary
This cohort study aims to determine if a blood test can aid with diagnosing dementia in
anyone presenting with cognitive complaints to a single healthcare network. The investigators
will measure levels of a brain protein, Neurofilament light chain (Nfl), and assess changes
in language using speech tests.

Participants will have a single blood test and speech test, and will be followed up at
12-months to complete questionnaires and cognitive scales over the phone. The speech test
will also be completed again at 12-months.

Individuals at risk of a Fronto-temporal dementia syndrome will be eligible to complete
optional genetic testing involving an 'at home' saliva sample.
