“A higher degree of neuroticism in midlife was associated with increased risk of AD dementia and long-standing distress over 38 years… Extraversion was associated with a lower degree of long-standing distress, but had no impact on AD dementia. When the 2 personality dimensions were combined, high neuroticism/low extraversion showed the highest risk of AD dementia.”
