Description

This dataset includes individual level data from Sacramento Area Longitudinal Study on Aging (SALSA). This includes both genotyping (raw and imputed) on the Infinium Global Screening Array-24 Kit as well as phenotypic data including age, sex, prevalent dementia, incident dementia, and time of follow-up. There were total of 1,788 subjects that were enrolled in the study and 1316 subjects passed QC filtering.

The SALSA study is tracking the incidence of physical and cognitive impairment as well as dementia and cardiovascular diseases in elderly Latinos in the Sacramento region. The effects of hypertension, diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors, such as nutrition and lifestyle factors, are also being examined. The SALSA study aims to: (1) assess cognitive, physical and social functions, which include the ability to follow instructions, to perform certain movements, and to interact with others, (2) examine the effect that cultural, nutritional, social and cardiovascular risk factors have on overall health and dementia, (3) examine the association between diabetes and functional status, and (4) estimate the prevalence and incidence of dementia in the Latino population in the Sacramento area.
