Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stymied a key panel for Alzheimer\u2019s prevention even as he pushes for better screening. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the nation\u2019s leading independent panel of experts on preventive care, was poised to issue new guidance on cognitive decline this year but has been unable to meet since March 2025.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe evidence for dementia screening is not particularly strong,\u201d John Ruiz, a clinical psychology professor at the University of Arizona and a recent task force member, told The Guardian. He added that the panel has called for more funding to strengthen the evidence base, but those recommendations cannot be released because the group has been unable to meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Kennedy, who has called the lack of early Alzheimer\u2019s screening \u201cregulatory malpractice,\u201d has also criticized the very panel that helps shape such recommendations. The task force, which typically meets three times a year, is not scheduled to meet again until late August, bringing its hiatus to roughly 17 months.<\/p>\n

The health secretary has not only blocked the panel from meeting but also dismissed its leadership in May and declined to replace members whose terms had expired. As a result, the task force could convene in August with as many as eight new members, according to Axios.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Politico, health experts warned that Kennedy could be attempting to remake the independent task force in the same way he overhauled the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices\u2014where he fired all 17 members, citing conflicts of interest, and replaced them with vaccine skeptics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s the potential that they could reform [the USPSTF] in a way that is no longer evidence-based or scientific,\u201d Aaron Carroll, president and CEO of AcademyHealth, a nonprofit representing health policy researchers, told Politico.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn which case they can force insurance to cover things with no out-of-pocket costs, but things that might not be evidence-based or potentially could cause more harm than good,\u201d Carroll added.<\/p>\n

The USPSTF\u2019s recommendations can directly affect Americans\u2019 wallets, as its A-to-D ratings determine which preventive health screenings insurers must cover at no cost under federal law.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease affects more than 7 million Americans, making it the country\u2019s most common form of dementia. Experts say detecting the disease earlier could become increasingly important as new treatments emerge that appear to work best before significant cognitive decline occurs.<\/p>\n

But routine Alzheimer\u2019s screening remains a contentious medical question, with experts divided over whether there is enough evidence to support widespread testing. \u201cYou get 10 neurologists, you get 10 approaches,\u201d Ruiz told The Guardian.<\/p>\n

The debate comes amid broader tensions over how the Trump administration approaches Alzheimer\u2019s research and funding. <\/p>\n

Despite Kennedy\u2019s claim that \u201cwe should have the cure for Alzheimer\u2019s today\u201d and that its absence is the result of \u201ccorruption\u201d at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 14 of the nation\u2019s 35 Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Research Centers faced funding delays in March 2025 after NIH grant approvals were stalled, leaving researchers struggling to retain staff and keep critical studies running.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way around the fact that science has been slowed down,\u201d Ann D. Cohen, co-director of the University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Research Center, which was affected by the funding delays, told The Guardian.<\/p>\n

Following Kennedy\u2019s remarks on Alzheimer\u2019s in May last year, the Alzheimer\u2019s Impact Movement accused him of spreading misinformation about the disease, saying he \u201cowes an apology\u201d to those living with Alzheimer\u2019s and their families. <\/p>\n

The group also urged him to \u201cstop spreading these harmful Alzheimer\u2019s myths, and preserve the nation\u2019s investment in Alzheimer\u2019s research so we can accelerate, not stop, scientific progress on diagnosis, prevention, treatments, and eventually cures.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to concerns over Alzheimer\u2019s research funding and screening efforts, a spokesperson for HHS told The Guardian that the department \u201cremains committed to advancing research in Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other serious health conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
