Cognitive Impairment and Medication Complexity in Community-Living Older Adults: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study.
BACKGROUND Medication complexity is a large determinant of adherence. Few studies have explored the relationship between cognitive impairment and medication complexity. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether cognitive impairment is associated with medication complexity for prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. METHODS In this cross-sectional analysis, we studied the association betwee...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase polymorphism and cognitive decline in older adults in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study.
Myeloperoxidase, an antimicrobial enzyme, produces oxidative free radicals. Rarely found in normal brain tissue, myeloperoxidase has been detected in microglia associated with Alzheimer's disease plaques. The authors examined a G-463A polymorphism in the promoter region of the myeloperoxidase gene (MPO) to determine the relation of MPO variants to cognitive decline over 4 years in a cohort of a...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic PR interval and adverse outcomes in older adults: the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study.
BACKGROUND The electrocardiographic PR interval increases with aging, differs by race, and is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), pacemaker implantation, and all-cause mortality. We sought to determine the associations between PR interval and heart failure, AF, and mortality in a biracial cohort of older adults. METHODS AND RESULTS The Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) St...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Declining Physical Performance in Older Adults: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study.
BACKGROUND Age is the foremost risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), and AF has a rising prevalence in older adults. How AF may contribute to decline in physical performance in older adults has had limited investigation. We examined the associations of incident AF and 4-year interval declines in physical performance at ages 70, 74, 78, and 82 years in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition...
متن کاملAssociation of body mass index with peripheral arterial disease in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
The authors hypothesized that the absence of cross-sectional associations of body mass index (BMI; weight (kg)/height (m)(2)) with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in prior studies may reflect lower weight among persons who smoke or have poor health status. They conducted an observational study among 5,419 noninstitutionalized residents of 4 US communities aged ≥ 65 years at baseline (1989-199...
