Associations between Brain Reserve Proxies and Clinical Progression in Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether brain and cognitive reserves were associated with the clinical progression of AD dementia. We included participants with AD dementia from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, provided they were followed up at least once, and candidate...
