摘要: PURPOSE OF REVIEW The apolipoprotein e4 (APOE e4) allele has been recognized as a risk factor for the late-onset Alzheimer's disease. It may modulate cognitive performance in nondemented younger and older carriers. Does APOE genotype affect cognition mid-aged population well? In this review, summary of current evidence concerning effect on middle-aged individuals will be presented. RECENT FINDINGS Recent findings did not provide clear signature mid-life. A positive, negative, null functions observed, especially memory performance. SUMMARY discrepancy results because several limitations. Future studies should focused narrower participants' age range wider level education range. Moreover, explored by means more sensitive tasks. Finally, interaction between additional factors other allelic variants taken into account to fully understand brain cognition.
