Dementia

Investigating Predictors of Cognitive Decline Using Machine Learning.

OBJECTIVES: Genetic risks for cognitive decline are not modifiable; however their relative importance compared to modifiable factors is unclear. We used machine learning to evaluate modifiable and genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), to predict cognitive decline.
