5 Vantaa 85+ Study

6 The beginning It started first of April, 1991 (All Fools Day) Community nurse Pirkko Ahponen and specialising neurologist Auli Verkkoniemi examined the first patient

7 Raimo Sulkava

8 Leena Niinistö

9 Leena Raimo contacted head physician Leena Niinistö in Vantaa. They were one year at the same school Oriveden yhteiskoulu The public health system, health centres etc were in Vantaa better than in other areas of the capital region Leena understood the importance of Vantaa 85+ Study and organised everything marvellously in the Vantaa Health centre and Katriina Hospital

10 Matti Haltia

11 Tuomo and Matti I heard from prof Matti Haltia that there was one Tuomo, a specialising pathologist, who was interested in neuropathology I contacted Tuomo and the rest is history: in 1991 there were 601 people aged 85+ in Vantaa. Tuomo autopsied 51 per cent of them!

12

13 Financing Academy of Finland or private foundations were not interested in people aged 85+ I decided to carry out a drug trial (paroxetine in AD). We could start the study with that money

14 DNA In 1991 almost nobody could imagine that genes and DNA from the old-old people could be important Ethics committee accepted collection of DNA DNA was extracted in 1994 by prof Kimmo Kontula s lab for free

15 Financing pathology and genetics No interest in such a project Tuomo and I thought autopsies might be important Solutions: the city of Vantaa provided room and facilities for autopsies and was able to pay for a minor part of autopsies and Tuomo carried the out them without payment before he went to his work

16 Ghosts in the Katriina Hospital?

17 Follow-up studies The basic study Follow-ups: 1994, 1996, 1999, 2001

23 Prevalence of neuropathological AD in a population aged 85 years and older apoe ε4-20% apoe ε4+ 63% All 33% Polvikoski et al. Neurology 2001

24 ApoE ε4 allele has a strong association with Alzheimer s disease also in very old people. ApoE ε4 allele is associated with accumulation of plaques and tangles. However, other genetic or nongenetic mechanisms must also have a role in the causation because all people with apoe ε4 allele will not become demented even at a very advanced age there is a considerable risk for Alzheimer s disease even without ε4 allele
