Study reveals APOE-ε4 allele increases the risk for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease

Previous research has revealed that the Apolipoprotein-ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele increases the risk for a variety of diseases in aging populations, specifically Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease. And yet, despite the negative effects of this genetic variant, it remains prevalent in approximately 20% of the human population.

Study analyzes the risk of death after hospital discharge with COVID-19 among older adults

As of June 2023, more than 1.1 million Americans have died of COVID-19. Adults older than 65 - who make up just 16 percent of the population - account for more than 75 percent of U.S. COVID-19 deaths and were hospitalized at three times the rate of younger people, highlighting the heightened vulnerability of this population.
