Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
EQT Life Sciences Partners, Amsterdam, 1071 DV Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) trials report a high screening failure rate (potentially eligible trial candidates who do not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria during screening) due to multiple factors including stringent eligibility criteria. Here, we report the main reasons for screening failure in the 12-week screening phase of the ongoing evoke (NCT04777396) and evoke+ (NCT04777409) trials of semaglutide in early AD.
Method: Key inclusion criteria were age 55-85 years; mild cognitive impairment due to AD (Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] global score of 0.

Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Las Vegas, NV, USA.
Background: Prior research has demonstrated the positive association between social support and cognition. Specifically, greater social support has been linked with improved cognitive performance and reduced risk of dementia. In particular, emotional support has been identified as a key dimension in the relationship between social support and cognition.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Background: Black/African American adults (B/AAs) are 64% more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) than non-Hispanic White adults (NHWs), and risk factors, including non-biological determinants, are not fully delineated. Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status and lifetime discrimination, are associated with cognitive decline and increased AD risk. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships of a perceived discrimination measure with sociodemographic characteristics and cognitive function in a racially diverse cohort of middle-aged adults with a parental history of AD.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Data from high-income countries (HICs) suggest a decline in age-specific incidence rates of dementia. However, this has happened primarily in HICs, with low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) facing two main challenges: a higher burden of risk factors and, in general, a faster ageing population. Most people with dementia live in LMICs, and this is set to increase, thus requiring urgent and robust action to prevent, treat and support people with dementia and their families.

Alzheimers Dement

Grupo de Neurociencias de Antioquia, Universidad de Antioquia, Medellin, Colombia.
Background: Genetic testing for individuals with dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) is now of greater relevance due to the existence of therapeutic trials available to this population. However, the impact and main drivers influencing the decision to seek genetic testing are relatively unknown in Latin America (LatAm). Here we present results from a regional genetic counseling and testing protocol implemented in LatAm.
