Relation of hemoglobin to level of cognitive function in older persons
Background: While decreased hemoglobin concentration is common in the elderly, the relationship of the entire range of hemoglobin concentrations with cognitive function is not well understood.; Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were conducted utilizing data from community-dwelling, older persons participating in the Rush Memory and Aging Project. Proximate to first available hemoglobin measurement, 21 cognitive tests were […]

Detection of cognitive impairment and dementia using the animal fluency test: the DECIDE study
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of a one-minute screening test measured against a validated 10-minute screening test for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in detecting CI in patients aged > or = 65 years with two or more vascular risk factors (VRF).; Methods: Patients (n=1523) aged 65 years or older without documented CI symptoms or dementia […]

Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine of patients in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
Objectives: To assess the clinical characteristics and course of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer disease (AD) treated with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) and memantine hydrochloride.; Design: Cohort study.; Setting: The 59 recruiting sites for the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI).; Participants: Outpatients with MCI and AD in ADNI.; Main Outcome Measures: The […]

Cognitive rehabilitation multi-family group intervention for individuals with mild cognitive impairment and their care-partners
There is increasing need for early, pro-active programs that can delay dementia diagnosis and enhance well-being of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care-partners (i.e., care-dyads). This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a combined cognitive rehabilitation and multi-family group treatment (CR-MFG) that was designed to facilitate adoption of newly learned cognitive […]

Development and validation of the Inventory of Needs in Memory Impairment (BIG-65): illness-related needs in people with cognitive impairment and dementia
Background: There is growing evidence that individuals with cognitive impairment and dementia require systematic assessment of needs for the selection of optimal treatments. Currently no valid instrument is applicable for illness-related need assessment in this growing population.; Method: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new instrument (“Bedürfnisinventar bei Gedächtnisstörungen”, BIG-65) […]

Impact of smoking on cognitive decline in early old age: the Whitehall II cohort study
Context: Smoking is a possible risk factor for dementia, although its impact may have been underestimated in elderly populations because of the shorter life span of smokers.; Objective: To examine the association between smoking history and cognitive decline in the transition from midlife to old age.; Design: Cohort study.; Setting: The Whitehall II study. The […]

Validity and reliability of the Korean version of the AD8 informant interview (K-AD8) in dementia
The Alzheimer disease 8 (AD8) is a brief informant-based measure that distinguishes individuals with very mild dementia and mild cognitive impairment from those with normal cognition. The aim of this study was to establish the validity, reliability, and discriminative properties of the Korean version of the AD8 (K-AD8). Evaluation was made on 155 patient-informant dyads. […]

The effect of midlife physical activity on structural brain changes in the elderly
Physical activity has been associated with decreased dementia risk in recent studies, but the effects for structural brain changes (i.e. white matter lesions (WML) and/or brain atrophy) have remained unclear. The CAIDE participants were a random population-based sample studied in midlife and re-examined on average 21 years later (n=2000). A subpopulation (n=75; 31 control, 23 […]

Cognitive assessment of elderly patients in the emergency department: a comparison between standard tools, medical records and physicians’ perception
Introduction: We evaluated the accuracy of physician recognition of cognitive impairment in elderly patients in emergency departments (ED). In particular, we evaluated the accuracy of the subjective impression of the physician on patients’ cognition (a comparison of the information obtained from the responsible physician with the S-IQCODE, a cognitive impairment screening test), and the accuracy […]

Patterns of cognitive decline, conversion rates, and predictive validity for 3 models of MCI
Our objective was to compare the predictive ability of different models of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a marker of incipient dementia in a longitudinal population-based Canadian sample. We examined the use of existing, well-documented MCI criteria using data from persons who underwent a clinical examination in the second wave of the Canadian Study of […]
