Alzheimers Dement

Background: Pharmacoepidemiologic studies assessing drug effectiveness for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are increasingly popular given the critical need for effective therapies for ADRD. To meet the urgent need for robust dementia ascertainment from real-world data, we aimed to develop a novel algorithm for identifying incident and prevalent dementia in claims.
Method: We developed algorithm candidates by different timing/frequency of dementia diagnosis/treatment to identify dementia from inpatient/outpatient/prescription claims for 6,515 and 3,997 participants from Visits 5 (2011-2013; mean age 75.

Background: Non-human primates (NHP) serve as an important bridge for testing therapeutic agents that have been previously shown to be effective in transgenic mouse models. Our earlier published data using an NHP model of sporadic AD-related pathology that develops abundant cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), squirrel monkeys (SQMs), indicates that chronic treatment with TLR9 agonist, class B CpG ODN, safely ameliorates CAA while promoting cognitive benefits. In the present study, we intended to delineate alterations in brain metabolome induced by chronic CpG ODN administration in order to provide further insight into CpG ODN immunomodulatory capabilities.

Background: The United States faces a growing challenge with over 6.5 million people living with dementia (PLwD). PLwD and their caregivers struggle with cognitive, functional, behavioral, and psychosocial issues.

Background: Past studies examining sleep-cognition relationships mostly employed univariate approaches, which are subject to problems such as multicollinearity and multiple comparisons. Further, results from small sample univariate analyses are difficult to compare, precluding the identification of the aspects of sleep health associated with a particular cognitive domain(s). The current study used a multivariate approach to identify key sleep metrics and cognitive domains that contribute to the maximum sleep-cognition covariance in healthy older adults.

Amerindian (AI) populations are substantially underrepresented in AD genetic studies. The Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), a global genetic initiative established by the National Institute of Aging (NIA) is supporting regional initiatives in Latin America and its admixed population. Latin America is the largest recently admixed population, with variable Native American, European, and African ancestry proportions, as result of successive settlements and new massive migrations.
