Researchers examined APOE allele frequencies in “SuperAgers” versus Alzheimer’s disease patients and typical controls using the ADSP‑PHC multicohort dataset. Among non‑Hispanic White participants, SuperAgers displayed significantly fewer APOE‑ε4 alleles and a higher prevalence of the protective APOE‑ε2 allele compared with both cases and controls, including the oldest‑old control group. A similar trend was observed in non‑Hispanic Black SuperAgers, though statistical significance was not reached for all comparisons. The results provide strong evidence that APOE genotype contributes to exceptional cognitive resilience in later life.
