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. Association of plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders with cognition and cognitive decline: The MYHAT population-based study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-05-16 Biomarkers

    These relatively non-invasive tests may be beneficial for clinical screening after replication in other populations and validation through neuroimaging or cerebrospinal fluid analysis.

  2. Levels of tau protein in plasma are associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive function in a population-based elderly cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2016-07-18 Brain scans and imaging

    Plasma tau is associated with cortical thickness and memory performance.

  3. Transition rates between amyloid and neurodegeneration biomarker states and to dementia: a population-based, longitudinal cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2015-11-18 Brain scans and imaging

    Our transition rates suggest that brain ageing is a nearly inevitable acceleration toward worse biomarker and clinical states.
