Could Artificial Intelligence Spot Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s From Health Records?
With the help of artificial intelligence, researchers may one day be able to predict from medical records who is more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease later in life. This may be possible by training certain self-educating programs — also known as machine learning algorithms — to spot risks via electronic health records. Led by NIA-funded

Research Highlight: Aging in Disadvantaged Neighborhoods May Worsen Age-Related Cognitive Problems
Alzheimers.gov Highlights Aging in a more disadvantaged neighborhood may worsen a person’s performance on cognitive tests, particularly if that individual is Mexican American, according to a recent NIA-funded study. A team of scientists analyzed data from 1,614 older adult participants in the Health and Aging Brain Study — Health Disparities. More than half of study
Research Highlight: Hearing Aids Slow Cognitive Decline in People at High Risk
Studies have found that hearing loss is associated with dementia in older adults. While research suggests that using hearing aids to treat hearing loss may slow the development of cognitive decline in people with an increased risk, this had not been tested in a large, randomized study. To close this gap, NIH-funded researchers conducted a clinical
