Could your personality influence your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease? An analysis of UK Biobank data showed that individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment who also have high genetic risk for neuroticism are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers used genetic data to calculate a neuroticism risk score and found that individuals with higher scores were more prone to developing Alzheimer’s. The paper was published in Human Brain Mapping.
