Importantly, our sample were relatively young (only 45 years old), and none have been diagnosed with dementia yet. This means that the retina 👁️ may be a good target for early, preclinical dementia risk, i.e. before symptoms appear. More research in this area needed! 📈

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.

Hello, can I please be added? Psychology/neuroscience researcher from Aotearoa New Zealand (orcid.org/0000-0002-7466-3013)

Oh I cannot wait for this episode (not my area of expertise sorry, but one I'm increasingly interested in!)

Thanks!
