  1. Episodic-memory maintenance was not clearly linked with plasma P-TAU217 trajectory in humans (well-maintained versus age-typical decline in episodic memory) (p = 0.885).

    “There were no differences in p‐tau217 trajectories between individuals with lower or higher education ( p = 0.386) or with well‐maintained or age‐typical decline in episodic memory ( p = 0.885).”

Education, stable memory not linked to slower Alzheimer’s marker rise

In an observational study of 1,005 Swedish adults over 50, higher education and stable memory were not associated with slower marker increases over 10 years.In an observational study of 1,005 Swedish adults over 50, higher education and stable memory were not associated with slower marker increases over 10 years.

Frailty linked to faster decline during lecanemab therapy

Patients with physical frailty worsened 1.52 points per year faster on a dementia severity scale than those without frailty while receiving lecanemab.Patients with physical frailty worsened 1.52 points per year faster on a dementia severity scale than those without frailty while receiving lecanemab.
