I love a weird fish, so it's the Blobfish that's got my vote in the #FishOfTheYear 🐟 they sit on the seafloor and wait for food to climb into their mouths and that's the kind of vibe I aspire to 🐠

In particular, venules were associated with various domains of dementia risk, including subjective health, inflammation, cardiometabolic risk, physical function, sensory function, psychosomatic risk, socioeconomic factors, and lifestyle. So venules may be a good target for quantifying AD risk!

We found that wider venules (one of the types of retinal blood vessels 👁️) in particular were associated with increased risk factors for Alzheimer's/dementia, as were narrower arterioles (the other blood vessels).
Thicknesses of the cell layers in the retina 🔬 weren't as strongly associated.
