Mary Cushman Spoke with WPTZ About New Research Showing Incidence of Cognitive Impairment Prediction

Mary Cushman, University Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair at University of Vermont, shared her first post on LinkedIn:

“My 1st LinkedIn post!
I was pleased to speak with WPTZ about our new research showing that circulating laboratory markers of neurodegeneration can predict the incidence of cognitive impairment over 12 years in initially healthy people.

It is amazing to me that damage to the brain can be detected in the blood, and detect pathology occurring years before cognitive problems start.

Associations were larger than I thought they’d be.

This research comes from the REGARDS Study, which we have been conducting since 2003.”
