What it is

Vanderbilt researchers searched two large sets of electronic health records and found more than 70 conditions that were more common in the ten years before an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, including depression, sleep problems and high blood pressure.

Where it stands

A pattern that could improve risk forecasts. It doesn’t show that any one condition causes Alzheimer’s.
