Serum uric acid, a natural antioxidant, may have a protective effect on the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To investigate the effect of serum uric acid on longitudinal cognitive and brain metabolic changes, we utilized data on baseline serum uric acid levels, APOE genotyping, and longitudinal cognitive scores from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative for 1,343 participants with normal...
