Grants
(MPI: Dr. Claudia Kawas & Dr. María Corrada) Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Studies in the Oldest Old: The 90+ Study. This prospective epidemiologic investigation examines biological, psychological, and social factors associated with functional, cognitive, and behavioral capacities of individuals aged 90 years and older. A particular focus is the relationship of vascular risk factors and vascular disease in cognitive impairment.
(PI): Dr. Frank LaFerla) Alzheimer's Disease Research Center of the University of California, Irvine. The overall objective of this grant is to understand the factors that cause people to transition from normal aging to preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) to mild cognitive impairment, and subsequently convert to dementia.
(MPI: Dr. Rachel Whitmer, Dr. María Corrada, Dr. Paola Gilsanz) Epidemiology of Age-related Dementia Mild Cognitive Impairment and Brain Pathology in a Multiethnic Cohort of Oldest-old.The overall objectives of this application are to estimate incidence of dementia/MCI in a multiracial cohort of oldest-old, identify midlife and late-life risk and protective factors, and understand the pattern of cerebral and brain pathologies in this diverse oldest-old population.
(PI: Dr. Tom Montine) Neuropathologic substrates for motor and cognitive impairment in three existing cohort studies of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The overall objectives of the application are to identify common patterns for the singular, concurrent, or sequential development of cognitive and motor impairments in persons with and without dementia.
(PI: Dr. S. Ahmad Sajjadi) Diagnosis and Risk Factors of Hippocampal Sclerosis of Aging; A Common Alzheimer's Mimic in the Oldest-Old. The overarching goal of this project is to apply stochastic multistate models that incorporate biomarkers to determine lifetime risks and population projections of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
(PI: J O’Connell, L Jiang) Diagnosis and Risk Factors of Hippocampal Sclerosis of Aging; A Common Alzheimer's Mimic in the Oldest-Old. The overall goal of this project is to identify a set of neuropsychological, imaging, and serological markers that enable the diagnosis during life of hippocampal sclerosis, an important and understudied cause of dementia in the oldest-old.
