STROKE COG Project

Stroke survivors are much more likely than stroke-free adults to develop Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). The STROKE COG study is an National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded R01 study that aims to advance the understanding of post-stroke AD/ADRD and how post-stroke blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels independently contribute to post-stroke AD/ADRD risk. This is a multi-center study in collaboration with researchers from Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The study involves pooling and harmonizing data from 4 existing longitudinal cohorts, secondary data analysis, and simulation modeling.
