Epidemiology
Professor Perminder Sachdev & Professor Henry Brodaty Group Leaders The Epidemiology Group is interested in studying the patterns, causes, risks, protective factors and effects of neurocognitive disorders, in particular dementia, in older populations in Australia and internationally. The group analyses longitudinal cohorts from CHeBA’s own studies – the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study, the Older Australian Twins Study, the Sydney Centenarian Study and the Sydney Stroke Study – as well as from international studies grouped into consortia, including the CHeBA-led COSMIC, STROKOG and ICC-Dementia. Another important aspect of this work is genetic epidemiology, which uses various approaches including genome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomisation methods to examine risk factors for dementia and other neurocognitive disorders.
