Association between Hippocampal Volume and Cognition in the Oldest‐Old Individuals from Colombia
Our preliminary findings suggest a positive association between hippocampal volume, a marker of neurodegeneration, and cognitive performance in a cohort of the oldest-old individuals from Colombia. This study is ongoing and future research, incorporating a larger sample size and additional biomarkers, is needed to validate these results, as well as to further our understanding of the relationship between neural structure in late life and cognition.
