@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialHow can virtual reality-based cognitive assessment games (VR-CAG) support cognitive markers for hippocampal vulnerability?
This new review in #DADM outlines 29 studies that identify 3 neural systems underlying VR-CAG
@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialNew in A&D: The impact of chronic stress and social support in cognitive decline #AlzResearch
Higher baseline chronic stress ➡️ greater decline in attention in women & greater memory decline in Hispanic vs non-Hispanic participants

@alzdemjournals.bsky.social#DADM Key Details:
🧠920 dementia-free individuals in Northern Manhattan
🧠CVH defined using eight behavioral and clinical metrics
🧠60% female & 65% Hispanic
@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialNew in #DADM: Cardiovascular health (CVH) and incident dementia in The American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) study
⬇️ CVH was associated with dementia risk and supported the CVH metrics were valid in diverse populations
@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialA new short report published in #BSEA explores the real-world experiences of in-person versus virtual ADRD biomarker disclosure

@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialNew in #BSEA: Interactions of economic hardship, social determinants of health, and ADRD caregiver burden
Findings show caregiver burden is a key driver of financial hardship and financial toxicity affects 1/2 of Alzheimer's disease caregivers
@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialIn the modeled two-step pathway, digital cognitive assessment enriched the population undergoing biomarker testing before pTau217 measurement
This ⬆️pre-test positivity from 30% to 66.6% and improved positive predictive value of pTau217 from 81.7% to 95.3% #DADM
@alzdemjournals.bsky.socialNew research in #DADM highlight @altoida NeuroMarker, a 10-minute self-administered digital cognitive assessment.
Findings support individuals identified as cognitively impaired were more likely to have elevated plasma pTau217🩸
