Abstract INTRODUCTION Recruitment of participants for intervention studies is challenging. We evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency a participant recruitment campaign through an online registry FINGER‐NL study, multi‐domain lifestyle trial targeting cognitively healthy individuals aged 60–79 with dementia prevention potential. Additionally, we explored which strategy successfully reached from underrepresented groups in research. METHODS The entailed seven strategies referring to Dutch Brain Research Registry (DBRR): (1) Facebook advertisements, (2) appearance on national television, (3) newspaper articles, (4) researcher outreach, (5) patient organizations, (6) search engines, (7) other. For each strategy, describe number (a) registered, (b) potentially eligible, (c) included FINGER‐NL. Subsequently, efficiency, defined by eligibility ratio (eligible/registered), effectiveness, inclusion (included/registered) were calculated. Associations between sociodemographic factors tested binomial logistic regressions. RESULTS resulted 13,795 new DBRR registrants, n = 3475 eligible (eligibility 0.25) 1008 (inclusion 0.07). advertisements television highest numbers registrants ( 4678 2182) translated inclusions 288 262). 0.35), articles (0.26), campaigns (0.26) most efficient strategies. 0.13) was effective strategy. performed relatively better recruiting groups. DISCUSSION A multipronged via prescreening adequate years potential multi‐site within limited time frame 15 months. Social media are preferred recruit Highlights An brain research recruited successfully. Mass reaching large numbers. Direct researchers organizations seems more effective. Online registries offer automated alternatives screen‐failures. Tailored needed reach improve diversity.

Importance Hearing loss treatment delays cognitive decline in high-risk older adults. The preventive potential of addressing hearing on incident dementia a community-based population adults, and whether it varies by method measurement, is unknown. Objective To calculate the attributable fraction associated with adults to investigate differences age, sex, self-reported race, measurement. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cohort study was part Atherosclerosis Risk Communities Neurocognitive Study (ARIC-NCS) had up 8 years follow-up (2011-2019). 4 ARIC field centers included Jackson, Mississippi; Forsyth County, North Carolina; Minneapolis suburbs, Minnesota; Washington Maryland. Community-dwelling aged 66 90 without at baseline who underwent assessment ARIC-NCS visit 6 (2016-2017) were analysis. Data analysis took place between June 2022 July 2024. Exposures measured objectively (audiometric) subjectively (self-reported). Main Outcomes Measures main outcome (standardized algorithmic diagnosis expert panel review). fractions from both audiometric calculated same participants, which quantified maximum proportion risk that can be attributed loss. Results Among 2946 participants (mean [SD] 74.9 [4.6] years; 1751 [59.4] female; 637 Black [21.6%] 2309 White [78.4%] individuals), 1947 (66.1%) loss, 1097 (37.2%) any 32.0% (95% CI, 11.0%-46.5%).

Self-reported not an increased for dementia, so quantifiable. larger among those 75 (30.5% −5.8% 53.1%]), female (30.8% 5.9%-47.1%]), (27.8% −6.0% 49.8%]), relative younger than years, male, Black.

The Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) is a major innovation that provides, for the first time, harmonized data cross-national comparisons of later-life cognitive functions are sensitive to linguistic, cultural, and educational differences across countries. However, function does not lend itself direct comparison diverse populations without careful consideration best practices such comparisons. This perspective discusses theoretical methodological considerations offers set recommended conducting risk factor associations using HCAP data. Because existing planned studies provide cognition representing an estimated 75% global population ≥65 years age, these will support high-quality comparative analyses aging around world. principles described in this applicable any researcher aiming integrate or compare on outcomes their protective factors populations.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Multi-omics studies in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) revealed many potential pathways and therapeutic targets. Despite their promise of precision medicine, these lacked African Americans (AA) Latin (LA), who are disproportionately affected by AD. METHODS To bridge this gap, Accelerating Medicines Partnership AD (AMP-AD) expanded brain multi-omics profiling to multi-ethnic donors. RESULTS We generated data curated harmonized phenotypic from AA (n=306), LA (n=326), or (n=4) donors plus Non-Hispanic White (n=252) other (n=20) ethnic groups, establish a foundational dataset enriched for participants.

More than 75 susceptibility loci have been linked to late‐onset AD, but most of these were discovered in genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) exclusive non‐Hispanic White individuals. There are wide disparities AD risk across racially stratified groups, while not due genetic differences, underrepresentation research can further exacerbate contribute their persistence.

We investigate Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) prevalence, incidence rate, risk factors in individuals racialized as Asian and/or Asian-American assess sample representation. Prevalence, factors, heterogeneity of samples were assessed. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted, generating pooled estimates. Of 920 records across 14 databases, 45 studies included. Individuals mainly from Eastern Southern Asia, had higher education, constituted a smaller relative to non-Hispanic white cohorts. The average prevalence 10.9%, ranging 0.4% 46%. rate 20.03 (12.01-33.8) per 1000 person-years with range 75.19-13.59 (12.89-14.33). Risk included physiological, genetic, psychological, behavioral, social factors. This review underscores the systemic underrepresentation ADRD research need for inclusive approaches accounting culture, language, immigration status.
