Association between having a family member with dementia and perceptions of dementia preventability.
This study examined how having a family history of dementia and caregiving experience are associated with perceptions about and self-efficacy for dementia preventability. Participants were surveyed whether they had a family member with dementia, and if they need whether they served as a caregiver. Of 1,575 respondents, 71% had a family member with dementia, and of those 42% served as a caregiver. People with a family member with dementia were less likely to believe that dementia is preventable and had lower self-efficacy for dementia prevention. Survey participants who were also caregivers had an even lower perception about dementia preventability.

Selecting SNPs informative for African, American Indian and European Ancestry: application to the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND).
The researchers studied individual genetic ancestry (IGA) in four samples in the Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND). They found that the identified set of ancestry informtive markers (AIMs) may be particularly useful for estimating genetic admixture in populations from the Americas. They concluded that odds ratios for the associations of IGA with disease are consistent with what is known about the incidence and prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in these populations.
