   Proposal Description:
   to determine if statin use in clinically and autopsy confirmed AD is            associated with a lower pathological burden (plaques, tangles, Braak)             We want to look at AD participants that came to autopsy and assess them by the    use of statins (+ or -). Our hypothesis is that chronic statin use should be      associated with less AD pathology at autopsy
