About the dataset

Primary description: Memory and aging project

The Rush Memory and Aging Project is a longitudinal, clinical-pathologic cohort started in 1997 and enrolls older adults without dementia for annual clinical and cognitive evaluations. The study includes follow-up and autopsy data. Initial data collection included cognitive testing, pulmonary function, life course risk factors, and in later waves T1w MRI, resting state fMRI, post-mortem imaging, and neuropathologic assessments were integrated.
