Carole Dufouil is affiliated with the University of Bordeaux in France and is active in the field of medicine with a particular focus on dementia and cognitive impairment research. Their work spans a range of topics including Alzheimer's disease treatments, genetic associations and epidemiology, neurological disease mechanisms, frailty in older adults, health systems evaluation, and nutritional studies.

Their recent publications address significant issues relevant to neurodegenerative diseases and public health. Notable papers include:

  • Twenty-seven-year time trends in dementia incidence in Europe and the United States, 2020, published in Neurology
  • Common variants in Alzheimer's disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores, 2021, published in Nature Communications
  • Genome-wide meta-analysis for Alzheimer's disease cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, 2022, published in Acta Neuropathologica
  • Correlates of intended COVID-19 vaccine acceptance across time and countries: results from a series of cross-sectional surveys, 2021, published in BMJ Open
  • New insights on the genetic etiology of Alzheimer's and related dementia, 2020, published in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Dufouil frequently collaborates with several researchers, reflecting a networked approach to scientific investigation. Their frequent co-authors include Geneviève Chêne, Vincent Bouteloup, Stéphanie Debette, Bruno Vellas, and Sophie Guyonnet.

Their research has been published predominantly in journals focusing on dementia and neurology, including:

  • Alzheimer s & Dementia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Neurology
  • The Journals of Gerontology Series A
  • Alzheimer s Research & Therapy

Dufouil's expertise covers several subfields within medicine, with publications concentrated in psychiatry and mental health, physiology, neurology, genetics, and molecular biology.
