Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of determining if a subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment. The methods comprise analyzing at least one plasma sample from the subject to determine a value of the subject's lipidomic profile, and comparing the value of the subject's lipidomic profile with the value of a normal lipidomic profile. A decrease in the value of the subject's lipidomic profile over normal values is indicative that the subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment compared to a normal individual.
