The Characterisation of Subjective Cognitive Decline
The Lancet NeurologyAbstractA growing awareness about brain health and Alzheimer's disease in the general population is leading to an increasing number of cognitively unimpaired individuals, who are concerned that they have... -

Association between insomnia and cognitive performance, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure in cognitively unimpaired adults
Alzheimer's Research & TherapyAbstractBackground: Mounting evidence links poor sleep quality with a higher risk of late-life dementia. However, the structural and cognitive correlates of insomnia are still not well understood. The study... -

Prescreening for European Prevention of Alzheimer Dementia (EPAD) trial-ready cohort: impact of AD risk factors and recruitment settings
Alzheimer's Research & TherapyAbstractBackground: Recruitment is often a bottleneck in secondary prevention trials in Alzheimer disease (AD). Furthermore, screen-failure rates in these trials are typically high due to relatively low... -

A metabolite-based machine learning approach to diagnose Alzheimer-type dementia in blood: Results from the European Medical Information Framework for Alzheimer disease biomarker discovery cohort
Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical InterventionsAbstractIntroduction: Machine learning (ML) may harbor the potential to capture the metabolic complexity in Alzheimer Disease (AD). Here we set out to test the performance of metabolites in blood to... -
Latest advances in cerebrospinal fluid and blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological DisordersAbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and its diagnosis has classically been based on clinical symptoms. Recently, a biological rather than a syndromic definition of... -
Plant-Rich Dietary Patterns, Plant Foods and Nutrients, and Telomere Length
Advances in NutritionAbstractThe world's population is aging as a consequence of an increased global life expectancy. Identifying simple strategies to promote healthy aging (i.e., absence of major chronic diseases, preserved... -

Plasma levels of soluble TREM2 and neurofilament light chain in TREM2 rare variant carriers
Alzheimer's Research & TherapyAbstractBackground: Results from recent clinical studies suggest that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers that are indicative of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be replicated in blood, e.g. amyloid-beta... -

White matter hyperintensities mediate gray matter volume and processing speed relationship in cognitively unimpaired participants
Human Brain MappingAbstractWhite matter hyperintensities (WMH) have been extensively associated with cognitive impairment and reductions in gray matter volume (GMv) independently. This study explored whether WMH lesion volume...
