Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

Derrek P. Hibar, +432 more
TL;DR: It is shown that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=−0.155), and these findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampus volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.

Twenty-seven-year time trends in dementia incidence in Europe and the United States: The Alzheimer Cohorts Consortium.

TL;DR: The incidence rate of dementia in Europe and North America has declined by 13% per decade over the past 25 years, consistently across studies, and somewhat more pronouncedly in men than in women.

The potential for prevention of dementia across two decades: the prospective, population-based

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided contemporary estimates of the proportion of dementia cases that could be prevented if modifiable risk factors were eliminated, i.e., population attributable risk (PAR), and studied whether the PAR has changed across the last two decades.

Featured Article Trajectories of decline in cognition and daily functioning in preclinical dementia

TL;DR: Investigation of trajectories of cognition and daily functioning in preclinical dementia, during 18 years of follow‐up, finds clear trends in decline in cognition and day-to-day functioning.
