Aging is the primary risk factor, and demographic trends predict a dramatic rise in AD prevalence as the U.S. population aged ≥65 doubles by 2030. In Oregon, growth of the elderly population will exceed 50% between 2010 and 2020, further increasing AD risk. Combined with the absence of effective preventive strategies and the burden on caregivers, these trends underscore AD as a major public health concern requiring urgent attention and intervention. 000000628 540__ $$fCC BY 000000628 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000628 650__ $$aNervous System Diseases$$022809 000000628 650__ $$aNutrition Assessment$$028507 000000628 650__ $$aEpidemiology$$018518 000000628 650__ $$aPrincipal Component Analysis$$033188 000000628 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000000628 650__ $$aMagnetic Resonance Imaging$$021747 000000628 650__ $$aNervous System$$022807 000000628 650__ $$aPublic Health$$024885 000000628 650__ $$aAging$$014358 000000628 650__ $$aCognitive Dysfunction$$039814 000000628 650__ $$aCaregivers$$029631 000000628 650__ $$aAlzheimer Disease$$014513 000000628 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000000628 6531_ $$anutrition 000000628 6531_ $$aevaluation 000000628 6531_ $$abiological markers 000000628 6531_ $$adiseases 000000628 6531_ $$aolder people 000000628 6531_ $$abiochemical markers 000000628 6531_ $$aprincipal components analysis 000000628 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000628 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000628 7001_ $$aBowman, Gene$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000628 8564_ $$9f7dcc275-cce6-428d-9103-375e922fe766$$s973049$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/628/files/629_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$223170ff726967a741a75e88d9d81c898$$31 000000628 905__ $$a/rest/prod/d5/04/rk/36/d504rk360 000000628 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:628$$pstudent-work 000000628 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000628 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
