Questions about Alzheimer's Disease
Is there a genetic link between kidney function and Alzheimer Disease for my family?
Current research finds no overall genetic link between kidney function and Alzheimer disease, though some shared biological pathways may exist.
Full answer →Does having brain reserve protect me from Alzheimer Disease symptoms if I am inactive?
Research shows that having more brain reserve, such as from higher education, can help maintain cognitive function even when Alzheimer's disease pathology is present, even in people who are physically inactive.
Full answer →Are there new genetic markers for Alzheimer disease found in veteran populations?
Yes, a meta-analysis of the VA Million Veterans Program identified 17 new genetic loci in European, 4 in African, and 3 in Hispanic veteran populations for Alzheimer's disease.
Full answer →Do genetic tests find new risk factors for Alzheimer's in veteran populations?
Yes, genetic tests can find new risk factors for Alzheimer's in veteran populations, as shown by a meta-analysis including the VA Million Veterans Program that identified 17 new genetic loci in European ancestry veterans.
Full answer →What is the new FDA-approved medication for agitation in Alzheimer's disease?
The FDA has approved Auvelity (dextromethorphan/bupropion) for treating agitation in Alzheimer's disease, making it the first medication specifically approved for this indication.
Full answer →Can exercise programs really improve sleep quality for people with Alzheimer's disease?
Yes, exercise programs can improve subjective sleep quality in people with Alzheimer's disease, based on a meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials showing a significant reduction in PSQI scores.
