The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded the Regents of the University of Minnesota $645,743 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a longitudinal epidemiological study examining the relationship between childhood socioeconomic status (SES) and lead (Pb) exposure on dementia risk in later life. The project, spanning February 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030, creates a novel research data source by linking approximately 15,792 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study (ARIC-NCS) to their household records in the 1930, 1940, and 1950 U.S. Censuses. This linkage enables prospective estimation of how early-life socioeconomic resources and environmental lead exposure independently and synergistically affect the incidence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) across the life course. The deliverables include quantitative analyses examining the relationship between childhood individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic resources with incident ADRD risk and neuropathology biomarkers; investigation of causal pathways through examination of brain imaging data (positron emission tomography for beta-amyloid and magnetic resonance imaging for vascular disease) and plasma biomarkers of neurodegeneration; and life-course mediation analyses utilizing over 35 years of prospectively collected ARIC data. The research also evaluates consistency of these relationships by race and sex, addressing health disparities in dementia outcomes and contributing to evidence-based understanding of early-life determinants of age-related cognitive decline.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
