You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Plasma NfL is associated with the APOE ε4 allele, brain imaging measurements of neurodegeneration, and lower recall memory scores in cognitively unimpaired late-middle-aged and older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-04-10 Brain scans and imaging

    Plasma NfL concentrations are associated with the APOE ε4 allele, brain imaging biomarkers of neurodegeneration, and less good recall memory in CU late-middle-aged and older adults, supporting its value as an indicator of neurodegeneration in the preclinical study of AD.

  2. KL-VS heterozygosity is associated with lower amyloid-dependent tau accumulation and memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Nature communications 2021-06-22 Brain scans and imaging

    Klotho-VS heterozygosity (KL-VS het ) is associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Lower cerebral perfusion is associated with tau-PET in the entorhinal cortex across the Alzheimer's continuum

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2021-02-10 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with reduced temporo-parietal cerebral blood flow (CBF).

  4. Lower Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Predicts Progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuromolecular medicine 2015-07-03 Biomarkers

    There is little information on the dynamics of BDNF in the CSF in the continuum between healthy aging, MCI and AD.

  5. Blood pressure is associated with higher brain amyloid burden and lower glucose metabolism in healthy late middle-age persons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-08-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Epidemiological studies suggest that elevated blood pressure (BP) in midlife is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in late life.
