Hereditary Influences on Cognitive Functioning in Older Men

1 Jun 1993

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the contribution of genetic factors to cognitive functioning in older men. DESIGN: Cognitive testing by telephone interview in an epidemiologically defined population. PARTICIPANTS: 2077 monozygotic and 2225 dizygotic male twin pairs, all between the ages of 62 and 73 years, recruited from the National Academy of Sciences twin registry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Telephone Interview for...
