TL;DR: The Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium performed a genome-wide association study of late-onset Alzheimer disease using a three-stage design consisting of a discovery stage (stage 1), two replication stages (stages 2 and 3), and both joint analysis and meta-analysis approaches were used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerobic exercise and neurocognitive performance: a meta-analytic review of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: Aerobic exercise training is associated with modest improvements in attention and processing speed, executive function, and memory, although the effects of exercise on working memory are less consistent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positron emission tomography in evaluation of dementia: Regional brain metabolism and long-term outcome.

TL;DR: In patients presenting with cognitive symptoms of dementia, regional brain metabolism was a sensitive indicator of AD and of neurodegenerative disease in general and a negative PET scan indicated that pathologic progression of cognitive impairment during the mean 3-year follow-up was unlikely to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormone replacement therapy and incidence of Alzheimer disease in older women: the Cache County Study.

TL;DR: HRT use is associated with reduced risk of AD, but there is no apparent benefit with current HRT use unless such use has exceeded 10 years, and no similar effect was seen with calcium or multivitamin use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Documented head injury in early adulthood and risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias

TL;DR: Moderate and severe head injuries in young men may be associated with increased risk of AD and other dementias in late life, and the authors cannot exclude the possibility that other unmeasured factors may be influencing this association.
