06/01/2020

On 6 January, an international team of researchers from the European Prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia (EPAD) project published a scientific article in the journal Alzheimer's Research & Therapy. In the published paper, scientists investigated whether common Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related factors predict trial-ready cohort participation and amyloid status across different prescreen settings. The analysis included participants from four cohorts linked to the EPAD Registry (i.e. 16,877 participants with an average age of 64 years). The open access publication is available here: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13195-019-0576-y
