Using a genetic risk score to estimate the earliest age of Alzheimer’s disease-related physiologic change in Body Mass Index

2019-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Weight loss is common in the years before an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis, likely due to changes in appetite and diet. The age at which this change in body mass index (BMI) emerges is unclear but may point to the earliest manifestations of AD, timing that may be important for identifying windows of intervention or risk reduction. We examined the association between AD genetic risk and cro...
