Proteomics identifies potential immunological drivers of postinfection brain atrophy and cognitive decline

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Infections have been associated with the incidence of Alzheimer disease and related dementias, but the mechanisms responsible for these associations remain unclear. Using a multicohort approach, we found that influenza, viral, respiratory, and skin and subcutaneous infections were associated with increased long-term dementia risk. These infections were also associated with region-specific brain volume...
