Risk factors for Alzheimer's disease: a population-based, longitudinal study in Manitoba, CanadaS L Tyas
PhD Program in Gerontology, Sanders Brown Center on Aging and Kentucky School of Public Health, University of Kentucky 40356 0230, USA
Int J Epidemiol 30:590-7. 2001..Current knowledge of risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is limited. Data from a longitudinal, population-based study of dementia in Manitoba, Canada were used to investigate risk factors for AD...
Mid-life smoking and late-life dementia: the Honolulu-Asia Aging StudySuzanne L Tyas
Sanders Brown Center on Aging, Kentucky School of Public Health, University of Kentucky, 203B Sanders Brown Building, Lexington, KY, USA
Neurobiol Aging 24:589-96. 2003..This study suggests that amount smoked is associated with an increasing risk of AD and Alzheimer-type neuropathology up to heavy smoking levels. The lack of association in very heavy smokers may be due to a hardy survivor effect...
Estimating the incidence of dementia: the impact of adjusting for subject attrition using health care utilization dataSuzanne L Tyas
Graduate Center for Gerontology and Department of Epidemiology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA
Ann Epidemiol 16:477-84. 2006..To estimate incidence rates for dementia and the impact of subject attrition on these rates...
Do depressive symptoms predict Alzheimer's disease and dementia?Jennifer L Gatz
Graduate Center for Gerontology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536 0200, USA
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 60:744-7. 2005..Depressive symptoms are common in seniors and may predict dementia. The objective of this study was to evaluate multiple measures of depressive symptoms to determine whether they predict subsequent Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia...
Transitions to mild cognitive impairments, dementia, and death: findings from the Nun StudySuzanne L Tyas
Department of Health Studies and Gerontology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Am J Epidemiol 165:1231-8. 2007..Thus, risk factors for dementia may operate primarily by predisposing individuals to develop mild cognitive impairments; subsequent progression to dementia then depends on only time and competing mortality...
