Layton Alzheimers Disease Center Biomarkers and Genetics Core Lab Resource Report Resource Website |
Layton Alzheimers Disease Center Biomarkers and Genetics Core Lab (RRID:SCR_009911) | core facility, access service resource, service resource | In cooperation with the Data and Clinical Cores at the Layton Center, the Biomarkers and Genetics Core generates and maintains biomarker data for select biomarkers which have established roles in the characterization of subjects with or at risk of dementia. Biological markers of brain aging, dementia risk, and neurodegeneration have the potential to accelerate the identification of disease mechanisms and treatment strategies. Biomarkers may include genes, proteins, or other metabolites, and may be identified in DNA, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or plasma. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype is generated for all research subjects. Sub-groups of subjects have other types of biomarker data. Many subjects have had genome-wide SNP data generated. In order to foster collaborative research as well as expand resources and expertise, samples (DNA, CSF, and plasma) and data are distributed to qualified investigators worldwide. Most of these researchers are pursuing the causes and modifiers of dementia. Data and samples are collected from well characterized research subjects including the healthy elderly and dementia patients. |

Layton Alzheimers Disease Center Clinical Core (RRID:SCR_009912) | core facility, access service resource, service resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on December 6th,2022. The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center?s (OADC) Clinical Core program, directed by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, performs longitudinal studies of the natural history of brain aging and Alzheimer''s disease in patients and healthy control volunteers. These studies which are performed through standardized neurological, neuro-psychological, and brain-imaging assessments are carried out in the Alzheimer''s Disease and Memory Assessment Clinics as well as through community-based assessments conducted in the homes of study volunteers. The Layton Center Neuroimaging Lab conducts brain-imaging MRI brain scans to assist in diagnosis of brain disease. Typically, MRI images are taken from three different planes. These planes are known as the coronal plane, sagittal plane and the axial plane. Each series of MRI images is named after the plane from which they were obtained. The Clinical Core?s research is focused on preclinical and early Alzheimer?s disease (AD) yet is also poised to participate in other relevant new research as it arises. The OADC Clinical Core recruits, assesses and follows individuals from population groups at high risk for dementia such as: the healthy ?oldest old?, subjects with family history of AD, and subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Research with underserved populations The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center also maintains two Satellite programs to enhance understanding of underserved populations: The Klamath Exceptional Aging Project (KEAP) is a community-based study of brain aging being conducted in Klamath Falls. The African American Dementia and Aging Project (AADAPt) s a Portland-based cohort of 100 African American seniors. |

National Institute on Aging, Database of Longitudinal Studies (RRID:SCR_008259) | data or information resource, database | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 11, 2015. A searchable database for epidemiologic research on aging changes across the lifespan. In 2003, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) established the Longitudinal Data on Aging (LDA) working group to assist with the development of research initiatives for identifying the physiologic and other types of factors across the lifespan, affecting onset and progression of disease with advancing age, as well as elucidation of protective factors contributing to exceptionally healthy aging. This database was developed based on input from the LDA working group which indicated that establishing a database of existing sources of longitudinal data on aging (e.g., ongoing longitudinal cohorts, longitudinal data sets, biospecimen repositories) would be a valuable resource for facilitating future research on aging changes across the lifespan. The longitudinal studies, data sets and repositories included in this database encompass a wide range of age groups (childhood to old age), studies in minority populations, as well as sources of longitudinal data existing in the United States and abroad. Our primary purpose for establishing this database is to provide a resource for potential applicants for grants to the NIA. No part of this database can be used for commercial purposes. | epidemiologic, healthy aging, human, lifespan, longitudinal, onset, progression of disease, protective factors | Aging | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE | nif-0000-22594 | SCR_008259 | Database of Longitudinal Studies | 2026-02-14 02:06:35 | 0 | ||||||||

Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) (RRID:SCR_008904) | CLHLS | data or information resource, database | The project has been collecting detailed panel data about the health, disability, demographic, family, socioeconomic, and behavioral risk-factors for mortality and healthy longevity of the oldest old, with a comparative sub-sample of younger elders, to examine the factors in healthy longevity. The baseline survey was conducted in 1998 and the follow-up surveys with replacement to compensate for deceased elders were conducted in 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2008, For each centenarian, one near-by octogenarian (aged 80-89) and one near-by nonagenarian (aged 90-99) of pre-designated age and sex were interviewed. Near-by is loosely defined it could be in the same village or street if available, or in the same town or in the same county or city. The idea was to have comparable numbers of male and female octogenarians and nonagenarians at each age from 80 to 99. In 2002, the study added a refresher sub-sample of 4,845 interviewees aged 65-79, and a sub-sample of 4,478 adult children (aged 35-65) of the elderly interviewees aged 65-110 in eight provinces Comparative study of intergenerational relationships in the context of rapid aging and healthy longevity between Mainland China and Taiwan is possible. At each wave, the longitudinal survivors were re-interviewed, and the deceased interviewees were replaced by additional participants. Data on mortality and health status before dying for the 12,136 elders aged 65-112 who died between the waves were collected in interviews with a close family member of the deceased. The study also included interviews and follow-ups with 4,478 elderly interviewees'''' children aged 35-65. * Dates of Study: 1998-2005 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International * Sample Size: ** 1998: 8,993 ** 2000: 11,199 ** 2002: 16,064 ** 2005: 14,923 Links * Data Archive, http://www.geri.duke.edu/china_study/CLHLS6.htm * ICPSR, http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACDA/studies/03891 | health, longevity, chinese, male, female, late adult human, interview, adult, middle adult human, longitudinal, international, disability, demographic, family, socioeconomic, behavior, risk-factor |

Charleston Heart Study (RRID:SCR_008895) | CHS | data or information resource, database | The Charleston Heart Study (CHS) is a prospective cohort study of 2,283 subjects (1,394 whites, 889 blacks) in which risk factors of coronary disease have been examined for the past 43 years. The CHS began enrolling a random selection of community residents who in 1960 were 35 years of age and older ����?? including men and women, black and white. A unique feature of this cohort is the fact that 102 high socio-economic status (SES) black men were purposefully included. The primary hypothesis of the original study was to investigate racial differences in the manifestation and risk factors for coronary disease. Over the ensuing 40+ years, a variety of outcome measurements were incorporated into the re-examination of the participants, including psychosocial, behavioral, aging and functional measures. Subjects were initially interviewed and examined in 1960 and 1963. Subsequent interviews and examinations took place during the following time periods: 1974-1975, 1984-1985, 1987-1989, and 1990-1991. During the most recent questionnaire (1990-1991), the following topics were examined: general health, smoking, functional disability, physical disability, cardiovascular health, sexual dysfunction, cognitive disability, depression, coffee consumption, medication history, medical history, nutrition, and body image. In addition, serum samples and blood pressure measurements were taken, and a physical exam was performed by a physician. A search of the National Death Index was completed through the year 2000, matching individuals with date and cause of death. Vital status of the CHS study participants through 12-31-2000 is presented below.

Resource for Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging (RRID:SCR_010472) | GERA | data or information resource, database | Human genetics data from an immense (78,000) and ethnically diverse population available for secondary analysis to qualified researchers through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). It offers the opportunity to identify potential genetic risks and influences on a broad range of health conditions, particularly those related to aging. The GERA cohort is part of the Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), which includes more than 430,000 adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system. Data from this larger cohort include electronic medical records, behavioral and demographic information from surveys, and saliva samples from 200,000 participants obtained with informed consent for genomic and other analyses. The RPGEH database was made possible largely through early support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to accelerate such health research. The genetic information in the GERA cohort translates into more than 55 billion bits of genetic data. Using newly developed techniques, the researchers conducted genome-wide scans to rapidly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomes of the people in the GERA cohort. These data will form the basis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that can look at hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs at the same time. The RPGEH then combined the genetic data with information derived from Kaiser Permanente''s comprehensive longitudinal electronic medical records, as well as extensive survey data on participants'' health habits and backgrounds, providing researchers with an unparalleled research resource. As information is added to the Kaiser-UCSF database, the dbGaP database will also be updated. | genotype, phenotype, genome-wide association study, saliva, dna, male, female, health condition, electronic medical record, single nucleotide polymorphism, adult human, late adult human, gene, genome |

Genetic Association Database Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
Genetic Association Database (RRID:SCR_013264) | data or information resource, database | The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. The data is from published scientific papers. Study data is recorded in the context of official human gene nomenclature with additional molecular reference numbers and links. It is gene centered. That is, each record is a record of a gene or marker. If a study investigated 6 genes for a particular disorder, there will be 6 records. Anyone may view this database and anyone may submit records. You do not have to be an author on the original study to submit a record. All submitted records will be reviewed before inclusion in the archive. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to human diseases. Most common diseases are influenced by a large number of genetic and environmental factors, most of which individually have only a modest effect on the disease. Though genetic contributions are relatively well characterized for some monogenetic diseases, there has been no effort at curating the extensive list of environmental etiological factors. From a comprehensive search of the MeSH annotation of MEDLINE articles, they identified 3,342 environmental etiological factors associated with 3,159 diseases. They also identified 1,100 genes associated with 1,034 complex diseases from the NIH Genetic Association Database (GAD), a database of genetic association studies. 863 diseases have both genetic and environmental etiological factors available. Integrating genetic and environmental factors results in the etiome, which they define as the comprehensive compendium of disease etiology. | environmental, etiological, etiology, factor, gene, general human genetics databases, genetic, association, complex, disease, disorder, human, medically, molecular, monogenetic, mutational, nomenclature, polymorphism, scientific, FASEB list |

KI Biobank - SATSA Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
KI Biobank - SATSA (RRID:SCR_005966) | KI Biobank - SATSA | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Longitudinal twin study to understand individual differences in aging with corresponding data and biological samples. The twin design and the inclusion of twins reared apart makes it possible to study the importance of genetic and environmental factors that may underlie differing aging outcomes. Further, the broad spectrum of biological, psychological, and social domains assessed across the life span makes it possible to study patterns of change within and across domains and how these predict health and diseases of aging. The study is comprised of several longitudinal components including, a comprehensive questionnaire that was sent to all twins in the Swedish Twin Registry who were separated at an early age and reared apart and a control sample of twins reared together. The questionnaires include items concerning rearing, family, adult, and working environment, health status, health related behaviors (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, and dietary habits) as well as relationships, and personality measures. The questionnaires were sent again at 3 year intervals in 1987, 1990, 1993 and after a break again in 2004, 2007, and 2010. Thus far more than 2,000 twins have responded to at least one of the seven questionnaire assessments conducted between 1984 and 2010. Additionally there is information about midlife life style factors from the Swedish Twin Registry that were collected about twenty years before SATSA started. In the second component a subsample of 861 individuals have participated in at least one wave of in-person testing (IPT). The first IPT started in 1986 and since then eight IPTs have been collected and the last wave will be collected during 2012-2013. The IPT includes a health examination, structured interviews, tests of functional capacity, and memory and thinking abilities. To date, over 76% of the sample has participated in 3 or more measurement waves. At IPT9 a third component was added to SATSA, a measure of day-to-day fluctuations in memory and thinking abilities, and emotions. Information about social interactions is also collected. After the visit by the research nurses the twins fill out the day-to-day booklet during the next five days. This procedure will be repeated in IPT10. This will add information about small and short-term changes and more changes are supposed to indicate the beginning of poor health. Data from SATSA can be used to study various aspects of aging. For example, the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors for individual differences in aging especially in cognitive and physical domains has been studied. A further main focus is to study changes within and across domains and which genetic and life style factors predict these changes. Given the wide spectrum of data from measured genes to social relationships collected over more than two decades they dare to say that SATSA is a unique study, with the possibility to answer many questions within gerontology and geriatrics.
