Vascular risk factors and cognitive decline among elderly male twins.

Neurology - 14 Nov 2006

Xiong Glen L, Plassman Brenda L, Helms Michael J, Steffens David C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Studies investigating the association between cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive decline report discrepant outcomes. The co-twin control method improves on traditional case-control approaches by controlling for within-twin pair similarities of genetic and early environmental influences. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and elevated body mass...
