Gain in Brain Immunity in the Oldest-Old Differentiates Cognitively Normal from Demented Individuals
BACKGROUND Recent findings suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathological features (neuritic plaques and NFTs) are not strongly associated with dementia in extreme old (over 90 years of age) and compel a search for neurobiological indices of dementia in this rapidly growing segment of the elderly population. We sought to characterize transcriptional and protein profiles of dementia in ...
متن کاملUltrasonographic assessment of thyroid volume in oldest-old individuals.

Subjects and methods The study included 81 independent elderly individuals aged ≥ 80 years (65 [80.2%] women). We determined these individuals' anthropometric characteristics, body mass in...
متن کاملHypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats occurs despite low plasma levels of homocysteine.
Hyperhomocysteinemia has been suggested to induce hypertension due to its role in endothelial dysfunction. However, it remains controversial whether homocysteine and hypertension are truly causally related or merely loosely associated. To test the hypothesis that hyperhomocysteinemia occurs in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) we measured plasma levels of homocysteine in 10 male adult SHR a...
متن کاملKidney function and cognitive decline in an oldest-old Chinese population
BACKGROUND Early-stage chronic kidney disease has been suggested to be correlated with cognitive decline, but the association has rarely been explored in the oldest old. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This prospective study included 284 Chinese participants aged 80 years or older with serum creatinine levels <150 µmol/L. The median follow-up time was 3.3 years, and 247 (87.0%) participants provided val...
متن کاملSuccessful aging and subjective well-being among oldest-old adults.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This research integrates successful aging and developmental adaptation models to empirically define the direct and indirect effects of 2 distal (i.e., education and past life experiences) and 5 proximal influences (i.e., physical functioning, cognitive functioning, physical health impairment, social resources, and perceived economic status) on subjective well-being. The pro...
