Increased risk of dementia following mild head injury for carriers but not for non-carriers of the APOE epsilon4 allele.

International psychogeriatrics - 1 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and head injury are risk factors for dementia diseases, and may act synergistically to further increase the risk. The aim of this study was to examine the association between mild head injury, APOE and dementia. METHODS: Data were obtained from the Betula prospective population-based study of aging, memory, and health. The study included 543 participants...
