In separate studies, researchers found significant associations between fragments of tau protein, metabolites of thiamine, and apolipoprotein J (also known as clusterin) in blood products such as serum with clinical diagnoses and/or results of neurocognitive tests, according to presentations at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.

French retirees who had stopped working relatively late in life were less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, a researcher reported here.
