Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →The IONA Longitudinal Cohort Study is following thousands of Scottish adults to build a detailed picture of memory and brain health changes over time. Researchers will collect information about your thinking and memory, blood samples, family health history, and genetic information. This study aims to help develop better, more personalized ways to diagnose dementia early and test new treatments in real-world populations, rather than just in highly controlled clinical settings.
Recent breakthroughs have shown that doctors can now diagnose and treat early memory loss more effectively, and blood tests can detect early warning signs of brain disease. However, researchers need to understand whether these advances work in everyday populations across Scotland, not just in research hospitals. This study will help create a diverse, representative group that can be used to test new diagnostic tools and treatments globally.

As a participant, you would be part of a long-term study that tracks your memory and brain health over several years. You'll attend visits where you'll complete thinking and memory assessments, answer questions about your health and family history, and provide blood samples for testing and genetic analysis. Researchers will use this information to understand how memory changes over time and to test whether new diagnostic tools and treatments work effectively in real-world populations like yours.
