For Persons Without a Family History of AD

• Be between the ages of 40 to 65; and
• Have a mother who survived to 75 or greater and father to 70 or greater without evidence of dementia*

*If a parent died from a non-dementia related cause prior to the required age, you may be eligible if that parent's siblings lived into their 70's with no history of dementia or cognitive impairment. For example, the person in this scenario may be eligible: mom is 76 and has no signs of dementia, dad died at 65 with no signs of dementia at the time of his death and his siblings lived into their 70's with no signs of dementia.

If you have no family history of AD and you would like more information about participation, call Janet Rowley at the WAI.
