There is growing evidence supporting a strong association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) with neurodegenerative disease. However, evidence from observational studies has been inconsistent. This project will use genetic data to investigate this link. The project outcomes may point to new avenues for research and prevention, whereby lifestyle modifications pharmaceutical interventions which decrease CVD might also hold promise for reducing the burden of neurodegenerative disease.

越来越多的证据支持心血管疾病（CVD）与神经退行性疾病之间的密切联系。然而，观察性研究的证据并不一致。这个项目将使用基因数据来调查这种联系。该项目的结果可能为研究和预防指明新的途径，从而改变生活方式，减少心血管疾病的药物干预也可能减少神经退行性疾病的负担。
