Collecting the Raw Data
We began by collecting raw data from the following sources:
- Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC)
-
Genetics of Microangiopathic Brain Injury (GMBI)
- • An ancillary study of Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA)
-
National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC)
- • Form Version 3
- Mayo Clinic Olmsted Study of Aging (MCSA)
Our goal was to find data from these sources that could be harmonized with the data that SOA will collect. We discuss this harmonization process in more detail on the following pages.
