International Centenarian Consortium - dementia

ICC-dementia logo
Studies 17
The aim of ICC-dementia is to harmonise centenarian and near-centenarian studies internationally to describe the cognitive and functional profiles of exceptionally old individuals, and ascertain the trajectories of decline and thereby the age-standardised prevalence and incidence of dementia. The consortium is also interested in the genetic and environmental determinants of dementia-free exceptional longevity.
