Research Discovery: Two variants of the genotype apolipoprotein E (or APOE) may help “super agers” resist Alzheimer’s disease.

Research Discovery: Two variants of the genotype apolipoprotein E (or APOE) may help “super agers” resist Alzheimer’s disease.

Diseases Affected: Alzheimer’s disease

Diseases Affected: Alzheimer’s disease

Key Findings: Adults who qualified as “super agers” (people aged 80 or older whose memory and cognitive skills have not declined in 20 or 30 years) tend to have a higher frequency of APOE2 and APOE3 alleles, and a lower frequency of APOE4 alleles. APOE4 appears to be a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s.

APOE4 appears to be a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s.

What's next? While further research on super agers is needed, it’s currently possible to check for APOE variants in a genetic test. A higher APOE4 frequency suggests a higher Alzheimer’s risk, but health care providers can help patients identify and minimize other potential risk factors.

A study recently published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia shares that gene variants APOE2 and APOE3 may help protect “super agers” (people aged 80 or older with the memory and cognitive skills of adults in their 50s o 60s) against #Alzheimers. #SuperAgers #APOE

SuperAgers, aged 80+, maintain memory and cognition like people 20–30 years younger. Their hippocampus generates twice as many new neurons, supporting sharp mental function even in advanced age. #SuperAgers #BrainHealth #Memory #Neuroscience #Cognition #HealthyAging

Superager brains excel at something scientists once thought was impossible Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Can Animal Super-Agers Teach Us Their Secrets? Some animals seem to defy the rules of aging. Understanding how they do it could help us live longer, healthier lives.

More fascinating #animals this week! These #superagers live ‘long’ healthy lives - much longer than expected for the types of animals they are. What can we learn from them?
