   Proposal Description:
   1) We will segregate data from autopsied patients into Alzheimer's only and       Alzheimers with vascular lesions. Patients will then be stratified according to                                                                                 education level in order to examine the impact of education on Alzheimer's via    vascular risk factors.                                                                                                                                              2) Using clinical and neuropathological data, we will statistically analyze the                                                                                correlation between level of education, vascular risk factors, and development    of dementia.
