Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to characterize the relative contribution of genetic and environmental influences to individual differences in longitudinal performance and decline of executive function (EF) using a population-based prospective study of male, WWII veteran twins (NHLBI twin study). Three tests of EF were administered when the twins were 59-70 years old, with 9- and 13-year follow-up. APOE epsilon4...
