Gail Davies, +257 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine cognitive and genetic data from the CHARGE and COGENT consortia, and UK Biobank (total N = 300,486; age 16-102) and find 148 genome-wide significant independent loci associated with general cognitive function.

TL;DR: In hypothesis-driven tests, there was significant association between general cognitive function and four genes previously associated with Alzheimer’s disease: TOMM40, APOE, ABCG1 and MEF2C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer's disease after remote head injury: an incidence study.

TL;DR: Cox proportional hazards modelling showed that a history of head injury with loss of consiousness reported to the physician was associated with earlier onset of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, consistent with the findings of several case-control studies suggesting that head injury may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of subjective memory complaints with subsequent cognitive decline in community-dwelling elderly individuals with baseline cognitive impairment

TL;DR: Memory complaints may lack validity in subjects with normal cognition, but in nondemented individuals with cognitive impairment, memory complaints may predict subsequent cognitive decline.
