I read a lot of papers like this that are outside my own medical field. It sure would be helpful if there were a list of abbreviations and their full names that one could refer to as the paper progresses. It’s hard to memorize 17 or more abbreviations that are not already in my brain.

My mom was a health advocate her whole life. Did everything science said to minimize risk. She also went to bed early/slept like a baby, yet she developed Dementia. This seems to happen to the women on her family side if they live 75+. What they had in common was Hashimoto's/celiac/thyroid diseases.

The paper does describe certain genetic factors that potentially have a larger impact on dementia than sleep disturbances.

I read through it, but I didn't catch it. Thank you. I’d love to see more research on thyroid disease/Dementia risk. I did see a study looking at a possible link between Dementia & people who take T4 thyroid medication, but I haven't seen much more. My grandmother died from celiac disease at 64.

I guess what I read was specific to early onset AD.

It's a terrible terrible disease that would really benefit from a lot more research funding.
