What are your chances of Alzheimer’s? Take the test

WASHINGTON — An online test that takes 15 to 20 minutes will let you know your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

The screening tool is designed for anyone between 50 and 70. It is not a diagnostic test.

Developed by an Oxford professor, it asks 37 questions and has memory tests, according to The Daily Mail.

The test can be done on any computer or laptop, but you cannot use your cellphone.

Test includes simple questions about your lifestyle, including how many sugar-based snacks and drinks you have each day and how many times a week do you eat fish.
