Abstract

Education had a consistently protective effect on the risk of developing clinical AD in a dose-dependent manner in both men and women, and in all age groups, also when adjusting for the number of APOE epsilon 4 alleles. Male gender was protective, probably at least in part because of a higher educational level.
