US doctor recommends a simple balance test to detect early signs of dementia.

US neurologist Dr. Bing suggests a 30-second one-legged stand to detect early dementia. Struggling with this balance test might indicate brain deficits linked to higher dementia and stroke risks. Early detection helps in managing dementia better. Dr. Bing also recommends other home tests like a smell test, clock-drawing test, dual-task gait test, and verbal fluency test for early signs of dementia.
