Amyloid-beta and cognitive impairment for a sample of Catholic priests
A data frame with 57 observations on the following 2 variables.
Group
mAD
=Alzheimer's, MCI
=mild impairment, NCI
=no impairment
Abeta
Amount of Abeta from the posterior cingulate cortex (pmol/g tissue)
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) is a protein fragment that has been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Autopsies from a sample of Catholic priests included measurements of Abeta (pmol/g tissue from the posterior cingulate cortex) from three groups: subjects who had exhibited no cognitive impairment before death, subjects who had exhibited mild cognitive impairment, and subjects who had mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
