The main objective of the StoP-Alzheimer Center is to pursue innovative studies on the “pre-symptomatic” phase of Alzheimer’s disease using measures of various disease indicators, including genetic variants, brain imaging, cerebrospinal fluid collection, neurosensory markers, as well as lifestyle questionnaires, cognitive and medical assessments.
PREVENT-AD cohort
The StoP-Alzheimer Center is studying a cohort of cognitively healthy participants with a history of Alzheimer’s-type dementia in their parents or siblings. These “at-risk” participants are monitored and evaluated every year, some of them since 2011. Preventive interventions are also evaluated in this program.
