Summary: Age-related diseases are complex polygenic traits with intricate genetic architectures. We examined the impact of multiple combinations of genotypes on the chances of living to older ages and found that specific combinations of genetic variants were associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and decreased survival chances.

Summary: In this autopsy study, it was found that APOE-62 was associated with a lower percentage of carotid obstruction and less severe stenosis, while having at least one 64 allele was not related to carotid atherosclerosis.

Summary: The common polymorphism of APOE was not associated with T2DM in the Czech population, but did show an association with retinopathy. Particularly, female T2DM patients with at least one APOE4 allele exhibited a lower prevalence of retinopathy in the study subjects.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in the ShaanXi Han populations. The results show that the ??4 allele of ApoE, hypertension, ApoA-I, LDL-C, and TG levels are independent risk factors for CAS. Furthermore, the association between ApoE polymorphism and CAS is partially mediated through blood lipids. These findings have important implications for individual preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Summary: The study found that APOE e4 allele status did not significantly predict depressive symptom score trajectories or depression risk after adjusting for other factors. However, greater functional limitations at baseline significantly predicted poorer symptom score trajectories and increased depression risk.

Summary: The study found that the APOE ?4 allele has a negative impact on cognitive function in early Parkinson's disease patients; over 5 years of follow-up, APOE ?4 carriers showed steeper declines in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score and semantic fluency test score, with no significant differences observed in other motor and nonmotor functions or DAT imaging variables.

Summary: The APOE4 gene variant is the most significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, promoting its initiation and progression. The high affinity of the APOE4 allele to triglycerides and cholesterol, leading to differences in lipid metabolism, has a widespread impact on neurons, microglia, and astrocytes. Phenotypic classification of Alzheimer's patients based on APOE4 carrier status is hypothesized to aid research, diagnosis, and treatment, as it has been found to have phenotypic differences and varied responses to treatment.

Summary: Carrying the ApoE sigma 4 allele is associated with an increased risk of cerebral amyloidosis and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The study found that apoE glycosylation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) correlates with CSF A beta(42) levels and small high-density lipoprotein particles (s-HDL-P), indicating a potential role of apoE glycosylation in influencing brain A beta metabolism.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for the multispot pattern in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) related to cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). The results showed that possession of APOE ε2 and severe CSO-PVS were independently associated with the multispot pattern, which has potential diagnostic significance for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

Summary: The study found that the APOE epsilon 4 allele may be associated with susceptibility to CAD in the southern Chinese Hakka population. It indicated that the APOE SNPs rs429358 and rs7412 are associated with CAD, but not the SLCO1B1 gene SNPs rs2306283 and rs4149056.

Summary: This meta-analysis study found that the G allele of rs1801282 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of obesity and hypercholesterolemia, while the T allele of rs3856806 polymorphism plays a protective role against dyslipidemia.

Summary: The Roma population in Ukraine has high prevalence rates of hypertension, unemployment, and lack of education, with women being more vulnerable to health conditions. Meta-analyses show that Roma globally have higher risk factors for smoking, diabetes, abdominal obesity, and metabolic syndrome compared to non-Roma populations, indicating potential poor health-related behaviors and limited access to health education.

Summary: Only a few studies have been conducted on the long-term impact of war. This study investigated the potential life-long impact of war experiences on advanced-agers who have overcome life's challenges. The study found that participants with war experiences had a higher percentage of extreme longevity. Although there were similarities, participants with direct war experience showed differences in life-history, quality of life, attitudes, and reflections.
