UK DRI researchers contribute to landmark review of UK Biobank's role in brain health research
UK Biobank is the world's most comprehensive longitudinal, population-based resource, holding extensive data and biosamples from more than 500,000 volunteers across the UK.
As the cohort ages, its value for understanding dementia and other age-related conditions becomes increasingly significant. In a new Nature Reviews Neurology paper, researchers from the UK DRI Centre at Imperial provide a systematic review of how the dataset has advanced our understanding of brain health in the 20 years since it was established, and how it can best support future studies.

This review highlights the internationally wide interest in dementia related neuroepidemiology that work from the Centre has been leading in and the growing impact of UK Biobank.
