Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Erik Buchholz's research investigates the long-term associations between lifestyle factors, such as cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, and cognitive function and brain aging. His work examines how cumulative deficit frailty, a measure of health status, predicts Alzheimer’s disease-related plasma biomarkers and impacts white matter integrity and processing speed in men from midlife into older age. Buchholz also studies the persistence of practice effects in cognitive testing over extended periods, which has implications for longitudinal research designs. His publications include investigations into the associations of plasma neurofilament light chain with cognition and neuroimaging measures in early old age men, and the genetic and environmental influences on alcohol consumption in middle to late life.
