Alzheimer disease: At the moment there are no tests that can predict if you will get the disorder though there is much research going to come up with an answer.

No: There is no test that can detect whether you will have dementia in the future; research is expanding and there are several imaging tests available currently that can aid in the diagnosis when one is symptomatic.
