Dementia in Tromsø
Epidemiologisk og klinisk forskning basert på Tromsø demensregister og Tromsøundersøkelsen.
Dementia diagnoses from hospital register were combined with data from Tromsø Study, a large longitudinal population-based study health survey conducted in Tromsø since 1974 so far 7 times. The data spanning several decades before dementia diagnosis are unique and allow for studying rik factors and defining dementia pathways. Dementia subtypes validation is ongoing.
PhD student Ina Rye-Holmboe will explore relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and dementia risk.
Genetic score risks are being explored as a part of AD Biobank Norway project, in collaboration with prof. Ole Andreassen and prof. Geir Selbæk.
