time of event (first visit at which ADwas diagnosed) and 18 months earlier. Furthermore, hippocampal volume (Figure 3 and Figure 4) was significantly different at time of event and up to 3 years earlier, and verified using data from two studies (UCSD and UCSF). Other features showed significant differences too (Table 1). Conclusions: The amount of H subjects limited this study, but significant conclusions were yielded anyways. Additionally, there are more sources of information available in the ADNI database that could potentially show additional differences between these populations. Regardless, there was no significant difference found in the rate at which H and NH subjects progressed from MCI to AD, and neither in the rate at which any of the biomarkers evolved throughout that period of time. But, H were found to start their executive function decay before NH did, and their hippocampal atrophy after NH did, indicating that these populations do not necessarily progress to AD in the same way, incentivizing further analyses on the matter.
