Assessing pain in cognitively impaired older adults.
BACKGROUND Accurate assessments of pain help healthcare professionals to identify its source and manage it appropriately. Pain in cognitively impaired older adults is difficult to assess and this can result in poor management and outcomes. In response to the vulnerability of this patient group, researchers have produced a variety of tools for pain assessment in cognitively impaired older adults...
متن کاملExercise and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in cognitively normal older adults.
OBJECTIVE In addition to the increasingly recognized role of physical exercise in maintaining cognition, exercise may influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, as transgenic mouse studies show lowered levels of AD pathology in exercise groups. The objective of this study was to elucidate the association between exercise and AD pathology in humans using Pittsburgh compound-B (PIB), amyloid-b...
متن کاملAssociation of Functional Impairments and Co-Morbid Conditions with Driving Performance among Cognitively Normal Older Adults
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between key functional impairments, co-morbid conditions and driving performance in a sample of cognitively normal older adults. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING The Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Washington University at St. Louis. PARTICIPANTS Individuals with normal cognition, 64.9 to 88.2 years old (N = 129), with a va...
متن کاملCognitive Training among Cognitively Impaired Older Adults: A Feasibility Study Assessing the Potential Improvement in Balance
BACKGROUND Emerging literature suggests that mobility and cognition are linked. Epidemiological data support a negative association between cognition and falls among cognitively intact older adults. A small number of intervention studies found that regimented cognitive training (CT) improves mobility among this population, suggesting that CT may be an under-explored approach toward reducing fal...
متن کاملCortical thickness is associated with altered autonomic function in cognitively impaired and non-impaired older adults.
KEY POINTS The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is critical for adaptation to environment demands. Alzheimer's disease (AD), via frontal compensatory processes, may affect PNS regulation, thereby compromising older adults' capacity for adaptation, and increasing morbidity and mortality risk. Here we found that AD-associated neurodegeneration accompanied an overactive anterior cingulate cort...
