The tragic death of American track and field champion Tori Bowie earlier this year put the spotlight on preeclampsia, which disproportionately impacts Black and Hispanic women.
Researchers from Western and Brown University have made groundbreaking progress towards identifying the root cause and potential therapy for preeclampsia.

This new research has shown a specific protein is present in the blood and placenta in individuals with preeclampsia. That protein is also being investigated as a cause (or at least indicator) of Alzheimer's and lasting damage from traumatic brain injuries. Seemingly that's the only link so far, this particular protein. Assuming all this is repeatable and there's causation, the protein is probably a step along the way to a root cause.
Interesting. Not sure how brain injury equates to Alzheimer's though, when Alzheimer's brains look like dried up raisins compared to normal brains. Not the same thing as brain injury.
They're not saying it equates. They're saying the same protein was found in people with those three issues. They're not saying they're in any other way related, equated, or causal.
Well, after further research, I concur with your comment and the original article...
