Before entering the study, volunteers interested in participating in it were subject- ed to an initial assessment to determine whether they meet the criteria for in- clusion and/or whether an exclusion criterion exists. Overall, all volunteers were required to meet four inclusion criteria in order to be considered for entering the study:
• Signing an informed consent.
• Be aged between 70 and 85 years old.
• Availability and ability to reach the Alzheimer Centre for visits.
• Visual and hearing abilities that allow conducting the study tests.
In addition, a number of exclusion criteria were established, including the following: i) suspected or diagnosed dementia; ii) inability to perform neuroimaging studies; iii) alcohol abuse; iv) mental retardation; or v) history of certain psychiatric or neu- rological diseases (e.g. schizophrenia, stroke, severe head trauma, Central nerv- ous system infections, uncorrected vitamin deficiencies, etc.).
In the table below some global data from the cohort of approximately 1,213 indi- viduals evaluated to date are indicated.
