ACTIVE 03-2013 ACTIVE R01AT006668-01 Fitzpatrick 01/01/11- 02/28/14 1.2 CMs (10%) NIH/NCCAM Domains of Inflammation and Risk of Dementia This is an ancillary study to the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory Study which proposes to analyze baseline and longitudinal serum markers of inflammation in association with dementia and Alzheimer's disease risk. The inflammatory biomarkers have been selected to represent specific “domains” or pathways that lead to cognitive decline. Dr. Fitzpatrick will PI of this study. 1R21HL104317 - 01A1 Fitzpatrick 04/01/11-05/31/13 1.8 CMs (15%) NIH/NHLBI Epigenetics and Nutrition: DNA Methylation, Dietary Intake and Cardiovascular Disease This study will analyze associations between DNA methylation of specified genes and risk of cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke, using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). The influence of dietary intake from a food frequency questionnaire on these associations will also be examined. Dr. Fitzpatrick will be PI of this study. 5U48DP001911-02 Snowden and Fitzpatrick 10/01/10-09/30/13 1.8 CMs (15%) CDC Examining the Impact of Cognitive Impairment and Co-Occurring Chronic Conditions (SIP-37) Three phases of this study will be implemented to assess associations between dementia/cognitive impairment and its impact on comorbidities. These include (1) a literature search to identify gaps in research on co-occurring chronic conditions associated with cognitive impairment; (2) a health inventory of studies and databases that may be utilized for addressing this topic; and (3) development of one or more manuscripts addressing gaps in knowledge accessing one (or more) of the identified databases.
