ASSESSMENT MEASURES FOR PRIMARY PREVENTION TRIALS IN ALZHEIMERS DISEASE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者的研究机构。 健康老龄化与记忆研究的目的是开发新的或改进的工具和评估方法，以评估老年人口记忆的变化。提高认知评估的有效性将使研究人员能够更好地确定药物是否提供治疗益处。此外，早期识别认知变化将使老年人能够受益于潜在的有希望的治疗方法，以减缓阿尔茨海默病的进展，对某些人来说，甚至可能在未来预防这种疾病。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objective of the Healthy Aging and Memory Study is to develop new or improved instruments and assessment methods for evaluating changes in memory in the elderly population. Improved efficacy in cognitive evaluation will better enable researchers to determine if drugs offer therapeutic benefits. Additionally, early identification of cognitive changes will enable the elderly to benefit from potentially promising treatments to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease and, for some, to perhaps even prevent the disease in the future.
