TL;DR: A significant dose-response relationship between preexposure cognitive ability and risk for PTSD is found and lower cognitive ability may be a marker of less adaptive coping against adverse mental health consequences of exposure to potentially traumatic events.

Journal ArticleDOI
VETSA: The Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging
TL;DR: The Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging is a longitudinal behavioral genetic study with a primary focus on cognitive and brain aging in men and includes an extensive and demanding neurocognitive test battery that was designed to provide good coverage of different cognitive abilities and avoid ceiling effects in middle-aged adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathways to dementia diagnosis: evidence for cross-ethnic differences.
TL;DR: Four distinct pathways to diagnosis were identified and found to vary significantly across the three ethnic groups, which the authors label as smooth pathways, crisis events pathways, fragmented pathways, and dead-end pathways.
