Featured Abstract
Association of plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer Disease with cognition and medical comorbidities in a biracial cohort.
Recent advances in blood-based biomarkers offer the potential to revolutionize diagnosis and management of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but additional research in diverse populations is critical. We assessed the profiles of blood-based AD biomarkers and their relationships to cognition and common medical comorbidities in a biracial cohort.
