Genetically-Predicted Adult Height and Alzheimer's Disease.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD - 1 Jan 2017

Larsson Susanna C, Traylor Matthew, Burgess Stephen, Markus Hugh S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Observational studies have linked increased adult height with better cognitive performance and reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is unclear whether the associations are due to shared biological processes that influence height and AD or due to confounding by early life exposures or environmental factors. OBJECTIVE: To use a genetic approach to investigate the association between adult height...
