BACKGROUND: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 allele is reported to be a strong genetic risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Additional genetic loci have been detected that influence the risk for late-onset AD. As socioeconomic position (SEP) is also strongly related to cognitive decline, SEP has been suggested to be a possible modifier of the genetic effect on MCI....
