Project Summary

The goal of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging Neurological Conditions Initiative (CLSA-NCI) is to develop a population based research program within the CLSA and to conduct research on selected neurological conditions, including epilepsy; Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other dementias; Parkinson’s disease (PD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The main two objectives of this project are: 1) to estimate the prevalence of neurological conditions; and 2) to conduct studies to examine risk factors for, and comorbidities associated with, neurological conditions within the CLSA.
