We propose to extend an ongoing longitudinal study (SardiNIA) and add new traits based on the unique ‘founder’ population of Sardinia. This proposed SardiNIA5 project is a continued need of the SardiNIA study under Contract No. HHSN271201600005C, with a primary focus on a genetic analysis of Alzheimer/dementia based an all-island case control study (AIM I) and also encompassing an additional follow-up period to carry out sixth visits for the maximum number as possible of current SardiNIA cohort participants (AIM II).
