Frailty and accelerated dementia onset in genetic, sociodemographic and neuropathologic subgroups

Background Quantifying how risk factors shape the timing of dementia onset can inform care and prevention strategies. We aimed to establish the degree to which and in whom frailty accelerates time to ...

Domains of Frailty as Early Risk Factors for Alzheimer Dementia - Genetic and Causal Evidence

Background Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is a leading cause of disability and dependency in older adults. Frailty is a phenotypic risk factor for AD, but its causal role remains unclear - partly due to re...
