Adiposity and cognitive decline in the cardiovascular health study.
BACKGROUND Studies relating adiposity to cognition in the elderly show conflicting results, which may be explained by the choice of adiposity measures. Thus, we studied the longitudinal associations of different adiposity measures, fat mass by bioelectrical impedance analysis, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), with cognitive performance in the Cardiovascular Health Study. ME...
متن کاملCardiovascular Prevention of Cognitive Decline
Midlife cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipemia, and an unhealthy lifestyle, have been linked to subsequent incidence, delay of onset, and progression rate of Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia. Conversely, optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors prevents and slows down age-related cognitive disorders. The impact of antihypertensive therapy on cog...
متن کاملMetal chaperones prevent zinc-mediated cognitive decline.
Zinc transporter-3 (ZnT3) protein is responsible for loading zinc into presynaptic vesicles and consequently controls the availability of zinc at the glutamatergic synapse. ZnT3 has been shown to decline with age and in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is crucially involved in learning and memory. In this study, we utilised whole animal behavioural analyses in the ZnT3 KO mouse line, together with ...
متن کاملFrequent assessments may obscure cognitive decline.
Effects of an initial testing experience on the level of cognitive performance at a 2nd occasion are well documented. However, less is known about the effects of additional testing experiences beyond the 1st on the amount of cognitive change over a specified interval. This issue was investigated in a moderately large sample of adults between 18 and 95 years of age who performed a battery of cog...
متن کاملTreatment of cardiovascular risk factors to prevent cognitive decline and dementia: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Over the last decade, evidence has accumulated that vascular risk factors increase the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD). So far, few randomized controlled trials have focused on lowering the vascular risk profile to prevent or postpone cognitive decline or dementia. OBJECTIVE To systematically perform a review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating drug treatment effects f...
