Abstract
We propose to advance existing science on Alzheimer's Disease by generating rigorous data on early risk, moderators, and mechanisms of aging health in young adult women. We focus on reproductive health from adolescence to adulthood, and nutrition and cardiometabolic health to identify risk and protective factors for women’s aging health.
