Alzheimers Dement

Background: Diagnosing sporadic early‐onset AD (EOAD, age‐at‐onset<65) is challenging: in the multi‐center Longitudinal Early‐onset Alzheimer’s Disease Study, ∼25% of patients with clinically diagnosed EOAD are amyloid‐PET‐negative. Here we used FDG‐PET to characterize the heterogeneity of hypometabolic profiles in these patients and better identify underlying etiologies.
Method: Seventy‐four amyloid‐PET‐negative patients with clinical diagnosis of sporadic EOAD (MCI or mild dementia stage) underwent FDG‐PET.

Background: Early onset dementia (EOD) affects people at the peak of their personal and professional responsibilities and economic productivity. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are the most common EOD etiologies in Non‐Latinx White adults (NLW). Black and Latinx older adults bear a disproportionate burden of dementia compared to NLW, likely due to vulnerabilities that confer increased risk, such as cardiovascular factors, socioeconomic stressors, and structural racism.

Background: Early‐onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) is a complex disease that occurs at an early age at onset (AAO) before 65 years, constituting 5‐6% of all AD cases and remains poorly understood. Patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been used to model different forms of EOAD that display heterogeneous disease mechanisms.
Method: We examined iPSC‐derived neurons from both familial EOAD harboring mutations in , and non‐familial EOAD patients at an early AAO.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face an increased risk of dementia. Recent discoveries indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors, a newer class of anti‐diabetic medication, exhibit beneficial metabolic effects beyond glucose control, offering a potential avenue for mitigating the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, limited evidence exists regarding whether the use of SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduces the risk of AD.
