Overview

To study the correlation between the iron load in brain, measured in MRI, and the age of healthy subjects Secondary objectives are to study the correlations between the iron load in cortical brain regions and (i) the cognitive performances, (ii) markers of aging (MRI, EEG, OCT, biology),and (iii) demographical factors involved in iron load.

Primary outcome measures

  • Correlation coefficient between iron load in MRI and age [Time frame: baseline]
