Kenzie Jarchow gave a poster presentation: KLOTHO KL-VS genotype modifies the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and CSF biomarkers of neurodegeneration, synaptic dysfunction, and inflammation
Bri Breidenbach gave two poster presentations: (1) Cardiorespiratory Fitness Modifies the Influence of Cerebral Pulsatility on Amyloid Burden and Core CSF Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease, (2) Cardiorespiratory Fitness Modifies the Influence of Cerebral Pulsatility on CSF Biomarkers Related to Neurodegeneration, Synaptic Dysfunction, and Neuroinflammation
Gabriella Mamlouk gave a poster presentation: Physical activity and sex modify the influence of diabetic-level insulin resistance on cognitive function in a cohort enriched with risk for Alzheimer’s disease
Kyle Edmunds gave two poster presentations: (1) Obstructive sleep apnea severity is associated with CSF biomarkers of synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammation in a cohort at risk for AD, (2) BDNF Val66Met influences the mediation of sex differences in VLM scores by plasma BDNF in a cohort enriched with risk for Alzheimer’s disease
