Associations between race, APOE genotype, cognition, and mortality among urban middle-aged white and African American adults

Abstract We examined associations between cognition and mortality and how these relationships vary by race and Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, in a longitudinal study of 2346 middle-aged White and African American adults (30–64 years at baseline) from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversit...
