How so? AFAIK currently there's no cure for Alzheimer's. What help brings an early diagnosis?

Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease. So, it is challenging to even test experimental treatments (or other interventions) unless you can identify individuals early in the disease process.

As far as I can research, diet plays a large role. As does environment.
