Modifiable psychosocial risk factors and delayed onset of dementia in older populations: analysis of two prospective US cohorts

BMJ Open, 2022
Objective Preventing Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) fundamentally equates to delaying onset. Thus, we quantified associations of modifiable, psychosocial risk factors to years of delayed onset of dementia.Design Two prospective cohorts (n=2860) with negative ...

Plasma microRNAs as potential biomarkers in early Alzheimer disease expression

Scientific Reports, 2022
The microRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for complex pathologies due to their involvement in the regulation of several pathways. Alzheimer Disease (AD) requires new biomarkers in minimally invasive samples that allow an early diagnosis. The aim of
