Diabetes, aging, and cognitive decline.
Type 1 diabetes is associated with cognitive changes in children and adults, but the extent to which cognition declines with increasing age, and increasing duration of diabetes, remains poorly understood. This cross-sectional study assessed neuropsychological performance on 200 diabetic and 175 nondiabetic adults, 18-64 years of age, stratified into five age bands. Similar age-related cognitive...
متن کاملA randomized feasibility pilot trial of hearing treatment for reducing cognitive decline: Results from the Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders Pilot Study

There has never been a randomized trial to test if HL treatment could reduce cognitive decline in older adults. METHODS A 40-person (aged 70-84 years) pilot study in Washington County, MD, was conducted. Participants were randomized 1:1 to a best practices hearing or successful aging inter...
متن کاملAging and Cognitive Decline: Neuroprotective Strategies
Neuronal loss occurs with aging or dementia, and an extended concept of neuroprotection assumes that the administration of a drug, or a procedure, is able to reverse or prevent neuronal damage. Neuroprotective strategies have been classified according to the mechanisms of neuronal death, and this chapter will deal mainly with neuroinflammation and related processes that occur in aging, cognitiv...

متن کاملHippocampal hypometabolism predicts cognitive decline from normal aging.
OBJECTIVE This longitudinal study used FDG-PET imaging to predict and monitor cognitive decline from normal aging. METHODS Seventy-seven 50-80-year-old normal (NL) elderly received longitudinal clinical examinations over 6-14 years (561 person-years, mean per person 7.2 years). All subjects had a baseline FDG-PET scan and 55 subjects received follow-up PET exams. Glucose metabolic rates (MRgl...
