  1. Glymphatic system dysfunction predicts amyloid deposition, neurodegeneration, and clinical progression in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's & Dementia 2024-03-19 Laboratory science

    Glymphatic failure may precede amyloid pathology, and predicts amyloid deposition, neurodegeneration, and clinical progression in AD.

  2. Poor sleep is associated with CSF biomarkers of amyloid pathology in cognitively normal adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 63 out of 100. Neurology 2017-07-05 Biomarkers

    Self-report of poor sleep was associated with greater AD-related pathology in cognitively healthy adults at risk for AD.

  3. Sleep Fragmentation and the Risk of Incident Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline in Older Persons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Sleep 2013-07-01 How common it is

    Sleep fragmentation in older adults is associated with incident AD and the rate of cognitive decline.

  4. Sleep quality and preclinical Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. JAMA neurology 2013-05-01 Brain tissue and pathology
