Association between cardiovascular risk and ADAM10 in cognitively healthy older adults

No evidence of a robust association between ADAM10 levels and CVRF was found. The lack of a significant association may be attributed to the insufficient number of participants classified as having high CVR. Larger samples are needed to enable more detailed analyses with optimal group stratification. We speculate that the inclusion of participants with higher levels of formal education may have contributed to this non-significant result, given the association between higher education and preventive health care.
