The Preclinical Phase of Alzheimer Disease: A 22-Year Prospective Study of the Framingham Cohort
Merrill F. Elias,Alexa S. Beiser,Philip A. Wolf,Rhoda Au,Roberta F. White,Ralph B. D'Agostino +5 more
TL;DR: The "preclinical phase" of detectable lowering of cognitive functioning precedes the appearance of pAD by many years and measures of retention of information and abstract reasoning are among the strongest predictors of pad when the interval between initial assessment and the development of p AD is long.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Grade Albuminuria and Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease Events in Nonhypertensive and Nondiabetic Individuals The Framingham Heart Study
Johan Ärnlöv,Jane C. Evans,James B. Meigs,Thomas J. Wang,Thomas J. Wang,Caroline S. Fox,Caroline S. Fox,Daniel Levy,Daniel Levy,Emelia J. Benjamin,Emelia J. Benjamin,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Ramachandran S. Vasan +14 more
TL;DR: In a community-based sample of middle-aged nonhypertensive, nondiabetic individuals, low levels of urinary albumin excretion well below the current microalbuminuria threshold predicted the development of CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotid-Wall Intima–Media Thickness and Cardiovascular Events
Joseph F. Polak,Michael J. Pencina,Karol M. Pencina,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Philip A. Wolf,Ralph B. D'Agostino +5 more
TL;DR: Only the maximum intima-media thickness of (and presence of plaque in) the internal carotid artery significantly improves the classification of risk of cardiovascular disease in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clustering of metabolic factors and coronary heart disease.
TL;DR: Atherogenic risk factor clustering is common in both sexes, worsens with weight gain, and is associated with greatly increased risk of coronary disease risk in both males and women.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a risk score for stroke was derived that included the following risk predictors: advancing age, female sex, increasing systolic blood pressure, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, and diabetes.
