Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) has been associated with Alzheimer' s disease and with milder forms of cognitive impairment. We investigated the possibility that the absence of the epsilon4 allele may predict the maintenance of high cognitive function among very old individuals. METHODS: Our data are from the Nun Study, a longitudinal study of aging and Alzheimer's disease in 678...
