Healthy elderly individuals with at least one APOE ε4 allele exhibit a three-fold increased risk of developing AD later on and are thereby more likely to have ongoing progressive neurodegenerative processes in the brain [ 1].

Gastric carcinogenesis is considered as a multistage progressive process.
The gradual increase of RT over these age groups is consistent across all Mean RT variables, suggesting an ongoing process of decline (progressive increase in mean reaction time) with age, regardless of task or type of RT measure (e.g., congruent vs. incongruent RT).
