  1. Impact of cardiovascular risk factors on plasma biomarkers in prediction of Alzheimer's and cerebrovascular neuropathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2025-06-11 Biomarkers

    However, chronic cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension are associated with plasma biomarker levels and can influence the accurate prediction of underlying neuropathologic changes.

  2. Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases Along the Heart-Brain Axis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2024-01-01 Biomarkers

    Our findings suggest that blood-based biomarkers of AD-related pathology predict cognitive decline in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

  3. Relationship between Framingham Cardiovascular Risk Score and cognitive performance among ageing rural Indian participants: a cross-sectional analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. BMJ open 2023-11-10 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Increased cardiovascular risk as evidenced by FRS was associated with poorer cognitive performance in all cognitive domains among dementia-free middle-aged and older rural Indians.

  4. Dissecting the genetic relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2018-11-09 Genetics

    Cardiovascular (CV)- and lifestyle-associated risk factors (RFs) are increasingly recognized as important for Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis.

  5. Apolipoprotein E, cholesterol metabolism, diabetes, and the convergence of risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2006-06-20 Genetics

    High fat diets and sedentary lifestyles are becoming major concerns for Western countries.
