Cognitive Declines Precede and Predict Functional Declines in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate the temporal ordering of cognitive and functional declines separately in older adults with or without Alzheimer's disease (AD). DESIGN AND SETTING A community-based longitudinal study of aging and dementia in Northern Manhattan (Washington Heights/Hamilton Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project) and a multicenter, clinic-based longitudinal study of prevalent AD at Colu...
متن کاملChanging Chronic Disease Rates and Long - Term Declines in Functional
Functional limitation (difficulty in walking, difficulty in bending, paralysis, blindness in at least one eye, and deafness in at least one ear) in the United States has fallen at an average annual rate of 0.6% among men age 50 to 74 from the early twentieth century to the early 1990s. 24% of this decline is attributable to reductions in the debilitating effects of chronic conditions, 37% to re...
متن کاملEducational inequalities in aging-related declines in fluid cognition and the onset of cognitive pathology
BACKGROUND Education has been robustly associated with cognitive reserve and dementia, but not with the rate of cognitive aging, resulting in some confusion about the mechanisms of cognitive aging. This study uses longitudinal data to differentiate between trajectories indicative of healthy versus pathological cognitive aging. METHODS Participants included 9,401 Health and Retirement Study re...
متن کاملAging and visual processing: Declines in spatial not temporal integration
Age-related declines in vision are well documented in the literature. In the present study we examined whether changes in spatial or temporal integration contribute to this decline. Younger (mean age of 21) and older (mean age of 745) subjects were asked to identify 2D shapes based on kinetic occlusion information---the accretion and deletion of texture during motion. The results of the first e...
متن کاملPerceived Control Over Aging-Related Declines Adaptive Beliefs and Behaviors
The belief that people are in control of desired outcomes, including those associated with aging, is a hallmark of American culture. Nevertheless, older adults are less likely than the young to believe there are things that can be done to control aging-related declines in areas such as memory. Within age groups, individual differences in control beliefs are related to cognitive performance, hea...
