Uniform Data Set (UDS)

The Uniform Data Set contains longitudinal data, collected since 2005 during standardized annual evaluations conducted at the NIA-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRCs) across the country. Participants in the study represent the entire Clinical Core enrollment of the ADRCs, with cognitive status ranging from demented to mild cognitive impairment to cognitively normal. A subset of UDS participants are also evaluated with one of the additional sets of diagnosis-specific data-collection forms, the FTLD Module or the LBD Module.
