简要总结
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors that contribute to or cause dementia (loss of memory) and related disorders across all ages and ethnic groups. This includes a number of neurological diseases such as early and late-onset Alzheimer disease, mild cognitive impairment, and other dementias.

结局指标
主要结局
Correlation between genetic factors and Alzheimer disease, dementia, and related phenotypes.
时间窗: 5 years
Genetic factors will be measured through genome-wide genotyping arrays and/or whole-genome sequencing, and then correlated with Alzheimer disease and related phenotypes, such as cognitive impairment, functional impairment, and relevant biomarkers. .
