Causal effect of household income on Alzheimer's disease risk and mediation by cognitive performance: a bidirectional, two‑sample, two‑stage mendelian randomization study
Household income exerts a protective causal effect on AD, which is predominantly mediated by cognitive performance, elucidate a key mechanistic pathway linking socioeconomic factors to neurodegenerative disease and highlight cognitive function as a potential interventional target, supporting the integration of socioeconomic considerations into AD prevention strategies.
Depression, hypertension, hypertension, and alcohol consumption were identified as significant mediators of the relationship between higher neuroticism and increased AD risk, suggesting that the neuroticism-AD relationship is unlikely to be causal.

Genetic evidence supporting a causal role for depression in the etiology of late-onset AD is provided, a link not observed for other major psychiatric disorders tested and highlighted the specific importance of managing depression as a potential strategy for mitigating AD risk.
Genetic and clinical evidence is provided that specific selenoproteins are associated with a decreased risk of AD and highlight the potential role of these proteins in AD pathophysiology and suggest their promise as biomarkers or therapeutic targets, warranting further investigation.
