Document Summary
Moved away from this model because we realized that some people with neuropathology don"t present with ad. All factors had a biological basis and influenced. Incorporate risk factors and protective factors from multiple domains. Looks at the interactions between factors as well. Volume loss or gain in areas of the brain. Staying relevant (ensuring you upgrade and update study as needed) Encouraging retention and addressing attrition (people dropping out) With aging comes neuro cognitive and other changes. Longitudinal data allows us to track aging transitions. With long term tracking we can identify markers, inflection points, and individual differences. Allows us to gain progress in understanding aging conditions. We are able to identify precursors and test interventions. With effective interventions, ad prevalence should decrease and cognitive health should increase. When entering the school at age 18, they all wrote a biography which were evaluated for idea complexity. The women with high density biographies did better cognitively over time.
