Study Summary
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common combat related problems and may be associated with a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to examine the possible connections between TBI and PTSD, and the signs and symptoms of AD on Veterans as they age. The information collected will help to learn more about how these injuries may affect Veterans of the Vietnam War as they grow older, as well as Veterans of the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who also have these types of combat related injuries.
Primary Outcome
Rates of change in brain regions based on neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] and amyloid positron-emission tomography \[PET\]) to show that those with TBI and/or PTSD have increased evidence for AD compared to Veteran controls
