Depends on the cost/benefit of being tested. Often non clinical early screening is a much better option.
For Alzheimer's that could be as simple as getting enough sleep for a solid 2-4 weeks. As the disease progresses really slowly waiting that time period has minimal impact, but A the pre-test is cheap and good for you, and B you rule out a lot of false positives.
