abstract = {BackgroundThe Models of Patient Engagement for Alzheimer's
Disease (MOPEAD) project aimed to identify the most
effective and cost-efficient recruitment model for detecting
prodromal and mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) across five
European countries.ObjectiveTo examine differences in
cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive performance among
countries and recruitment models using MOPEAD
data.MethodsIndividuals aged 65-85 with a high risk for
prodromal or mild AD were included. Four recruitment models
were used: a web-based screening tool, an open house
initiative (OHI), a primary care-based protocol for early
detection of cognitive decline, and a tertiary care-based
screening at a diabetologist clinic. Participants from
Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Slovenia were
recruited. Cardiovascular risk factors were self-reported,
and cognition was assessed using The Repeatable Battery for
the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS).ResultsA
total of 414 individuals (mean age 71.9, SD = 5.0) were
included. Significant differences were observed in physical
activity (p < 0.001), with individuals from Sweden and
Slovenia being the most active. Dutch participants scored
highest on most cognitive measures. Individuals recruited
via web-based survey were youngest, most active $(61.7\%),$
and had the lowest rates of diabetes $(12.0\%)$ and heart
disease $(6.4\%),$ as well as the best cognitive scores.
Those recruited via diabetologist clinics displayed the
highest cardiovascular risk and the lowest cognitive
performance.ConclusionsThis study unveils significant
disparities in cardiovascular health and cognition across
recruitment strategies and European countries. The OHI shows
promise for future recruitment in the context of
disease-modifying AD treatments.},
