Abstract:A potential relationship between Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and insulin gene expression was suggested by the observation that patients with AD have altered levels of fasting blood sugar and insulin. Since polymorphisms in the region 5' to the insulin gene have been associated with blood glucose levels, we have studied this polymorphism in AD patients. Subjects were 19 nondiabetic AD patients with symptoms of aphasia and apraxia and a family history of AD; and 20 age and sex-matched nondiabetic controls without family history of AD. The 5' polymorphic region of the insulin gene was analyzed by restriction enzyme digestion of DNA extracted from whole venous blood. We did not observe a correlation between the size of the 5' polymorphic region and AD.

Abstract Understanding individual factors (e.g., personality) associated with self-reported memory problems is important to refine identification of individuals at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Using multilevel modeling, we examined the association of family history of AD and personality traits with self-reported memory problems in older adults (n = 421; 72.21% White; 62.95% female; Mage = 76.69). Results showed that individuals with a family history of AD reported more frequent memory problems and greater one-year memory decline. Similar findings were reported for individuals with higher extraversion scores. Further, older adults with higher neuroticism scores reported greater one- and ten-year memory decline. Neuroticism was positively related to frequency of memory problems, but only among participants with a family history of AD. Findings suggest that higher neuroticism and lower extraversion may increase older adults’ reports of memory problems. Family history of AD may further exacerbate this tendency.
