A member asked:
Is a dementia test with 100 specificity diagnostic if no other clinical criteria is met?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There is no test with 100% specificity. But if there were one tha answer would still be no. There is no specific year for dementia.

Dementia starts with clinical diagnosis and testing confirms Specificity is NEVER perfect but adds to supportive result. Suggest you repose question if need more precise data
