Ever wondered how genetic and environmental factors could influence the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia among veterans? Join us as Dr. Mark Logue, statistician and researcher at the National Center for PTSD at the VA Boston Healthcare System, shares his remarkable journey from serving in Operation Desert Storm to pioneering genetic research. Discover how his work with the Million Veteran Program (MVP) aims to identify at-risk veterans early and develop more effective treatments by uncovering the biological underpinnings of conditions like PTSD, TBI, and cardiovascular disease.
This episode highlights the transformative potential of the MVP, which has already enrolled one million veteran volunteers and seeks to double that number. By integrating genetic data with VA medical records and survey information, this program offers invaluable insights into various health conditions. Dr. Logue explains how veteran participation is crucial, contributing unique data that could shape future healthcare policies and enhance the quality of care for veterans and beyond.
