Alexander Kulminski of the Duke Population Research Institute (DUPRI) and Duke’s Biodemography Research Unit (BARU), and Caleb Finch of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology have outlined a framework called the Alzheimer’s Disease Exposome to address major gaps in understanding how environmental factors interact with genetic factors to increase or reduce risk for the disease. The theoretical article appears Tuesday in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.
