Establishment of a Bank of Biospecimens for the Evaluation of New Methods Facilitating Early Diagnosis and the Monitoring of Progression and Therapy of Patients With Age-related Cognitive Disorders.
This study is collecting tissue specimens (blood, urine and saliva) from up to 1000
patients, with and without cognitive disorders, to store in the Bio Bank for future
research. The specimens could be used in future research projects that could help improve
the accuracy of diagnosis of a disease, predict who might develop a disease, help monitor
the disease, or improve the understanding of the disease. Patients are only being recruited
from Beaumont Hospitals Geriatric Clinic.

research. The specimens could be used in future research projects that could help improve
the accuracy of diagnosis of a disease, predict who might develop a disease, help monitor
the disease, or improve the understanding of the disease. Patients are only being recruited
from Beaumont Hospitals Geriatric Clinic.
Up to 1000 patients, with or without diagnosed cognitive disorders, are asked to participate
by providing the investigators with blood, urine and saliva specimens to be stored in a Bio
Bank for future research. Patients will be asked to participate on a yearly basis for up to
5 to 10 years by providing the investigators with the above-mentioned specimens, and also
having a physical exam and having some cognitive testing performed at the initial visit and
yearly visits.
Examples of the types of research are: new methods for improving the diagnosis and treatment
of age-related cognitive disorders, new areas of biology, new areas of biotechnology, and
possibly genetic research. If you do not want your specimens used for any specific type of
research, you may specify that on the consent form.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. At least 60 years of age.
2. Willing and able to complete all specimen donations and neuropsychological
examinations.
3. Individuals identified as having some form of cognitive impairment require a study
partner with 1-2 times per week contact (can be in person and/or telephone), who will
accompany them to study visits(s).
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Presence of significant sensory deficits (e.g., visual or hearing), motor deficits
(e.g., paralysis), or medical conditions that would preclude the completion of the
neuropsychological or other study instruments.
2. DMS-IV diagnosis of substance abuse disorder.
3. Presence of a major medical or terminal illness that may affect the participation of
the patient in the study.
4. Known active malignancy, or history of malignancy within the last 5 years (other than
basal cell carcinoma), severe organ failure, metabolic or hematologic disorders, or
post-encephalitic syndrome.
