Description:
The PREVENT Research Programme has established a cohort of individuals to explore differences in the brain and cognitive function in healthy people in mid-life (aged 40-59). People are grouped into high, mid and low risk based on their family history and APOE status (a well-known risk gene for Alzheimer’s disease). Participants are assessed on biological indicators including markers in blood, saliva, urine and spinal fluid as well as direct imaging of the brain"s structure and function. Changes in all of these markers will be monitored at 2 years to work out if risks that predict these changes. One of the main aims of the study is to identify the earliest signs of changes in the brain whilst people are still in good health.

Access Service:
The Data Portal runs its analysis environment through a virtual desktop
infrastructure accessible via VMWare software. By analysing the data in the
virtual desktop environment you are working on DPUK"s servers – meaning there is
no physical transfer of data to researchers. The processing capacity enables you
to work with large numbers of records and integrate these with the other data
modalities that exist in the DPUK cohorts. This solution also offers researchers
the freedom to conduct their analyses anywhere with an internet connection.
