    ABSTRACT: Abstract INTRODUCTION Although large‐scale genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted on AD, few have been conducted on continuous measures of memory performance and memory decline. METHODS We conducted a cross‐ancestry GWAS on memory performance (in 27,633 participants) and memory decline (in 22,365 participants; 129,201 observations) by leveraging harmonized cognitive data from four aging cohorts. RESULTS We found high heritability for two ancestry backgrounds. Further, we found a novel ancestry locus for memory decline on chromosome 4 (rs6848524) and three loci in the non‐Hispanic Black ancestry group for memory performance on chromosomes 2 (rs111471504), 7 (rs4142249), and 15 (rs74381744). In our gene‐level analysis, we found novel genes for memory d

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • discuss genetic predisposition to memory decline Moderate

    GWAS finding indicates increased memory decline risk; professional guidance on prevention is warranted.

    Bring genetic result to healthcare provider for counseling on cognitive health strategies

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise for memory support Moderate

    Aerobic exercise increases cerebral blood flow and neuroplasticity, supporting memory function in those genetically predisposed to decline.

    Aim for 150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week

Lifestyle

  • cognitive training and mental exercise Moderate

    Cognitive engagement strengthens memory networks and cognitive reserve, helping maintain function in those with genetic memory decline risk.

    Engage in cognitively stimulating activities 20-30 minutes most days (puzzles, learning, strategy games)

  • sleep quality and consistency Moderate

    Sleep is critical for memory consolidation; consistent sleep is particularly important for those genetically predisposed to memory decline.

    Maintain 7-9 hours nightly sleep; track sleep consistency

Screening

  • cognitive function screening Moderate

    rs12426465 is associated with increased memory decline risk, warranting baseline and periodic cognitive assessment.

    Schedule cognitive assessment; discuss re-screening interval with healthcare provider
