H70 Clinical Study

Sample details

The H70 Clinical Study aims to increase the understanding of disease processes, as well as to find new disease markers and investigate how these affect the onset and course of dementia diseases. The cohort includes around 700 patients with suspected dementia. Participants are assessed at baseline during their first visit to a memory clinic in Gothenburg, Sweden. Participants are followed every two years for six years.
