DATA RESOURCES

Multiple data sources are available to AD-RCMAR Scientists and applicants, including:

Study Aims

Multi-center epidemiologic study in Hispanic/Latino populations to assess role of acculturation in prevalence and development of disease and to identify factors affecting health. 

Longitudinal study of U.S. adults aged 50+ designed to inform retirement research

​​Community-based cohort study of adults from the Rancho Bernardo suburb of San Diego, CA focused on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone disease, and cognitive function

The HABS-HD seeks to understand the biological, social and environmental factors that impact brain aging among diverse communities
​​

Longitudinal study to provide estimates of physical health & mental health conditions, functional impairment and to compare to other populations
 

 

AD Clinical Trials addressing treatments for cognitive and behavioral symptoms

Multiple studies aiming to understand the causes, clinical features and treatments for MCI and ADRD

 

 

 

Facilitates collaborative research on ADRD
 

​All of Us is building a diverse database that can inform thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions

​Aims to investigate what factors (emotional, cognitive, genetic, social, physical, etc.) are associated with successful aging across the lifespan

 

​To share measures of neighborhood disadvantage with the public, including educational institutions, health systems,

Variables

Neurocognitive,sociocultural (e.g., acculturation), cardiometabolic (e.g., ECG), and multilayered –omics (e.g., whole genome sequences)
 

 

Multiple domains of health
 

Multiple domains of health and health status including cognitive, physical, sensory, and pulmonary function, biomarkers, and imaging.
 

Neurocognitive testing, neuroimaging, and biomarkers
 

Multiple domains of physical, mental health, cognition, functional status, sociodemographics
 

Biospecimens, brain imaging data, biochemical biomarkers, medications, MMSE, ADAS-cog, Clinical Dementia Rating Scale, Neuropsychiatric Inventory, CSF and serum data

Multiple variables, including MINT, arterial stiffness, caregiver stress, medical, neurological and neuropsychological data, MRI, CSF data and quantitative MR brain imaging

National standard clinical and neuropathological data (prospective and longitudinal) (Uniform Data Set, Neuropathology Data Set, Minimum Data Set)
 

EHR data, genomics, physical measurements and wearables, personal history, lifestyle, healthcare access and utilization, social determinants of health
 

Broad range of topics related to successful aging assessed by questionnaire, as well as genetic data

17 measures of social determinants of health across small,
population sensitive areas. It includes factors for the theoretical domains of income, education, employment, and housing quality.
