Registry summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the pathophysiological characterization and evolutionary patterns of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in older adults in Fujian Province, China. The primary purposes are as follows:

  • establishment and follow-up of cohorts in the general population and populations with cognitive impairment;
  • investigation of risk factors and evolutionary patterns of AD pathological characteristics;
  • construction and validation of AD digital phenotypes based on multi-dimensional digital-intelligence screening;
  • exploration of AD-related risk genes and their mechanisms of action;
  • development of novel technologies for plasma biomarkers and PET imaging for the accurate diagnosis of AD.
