Hercberg, S.,
Galan, P.
Background: Evidence on the association between Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) adherence and cognition is presently inconsistent.; Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the association between midlife MedDiet adherence and cognitive performance assessed 13 y later among participants in the SU.VI.MAX (Supplementation with Vitamins and Mineral Antioxidants) study and to test the hypothesis of […]

Tolo, I. K.,
Skovlund, E.,
Engedal, K.,
Wyller, T. B.
Background: Observational studies report a relationship between anticholinergic drug scale (ADS) score and cognitive function. This study investigated whether a reduced ADS score improved cognitive function in a frail elderly population.; Methods: This randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial, recruited long-term residents with an ADS score of greater than or equal to 3 from 22 nursing homes […]

Hirono, Nobutsugu,
Takeda, Masatoshi
Background/aims: Patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are often given shunt operations to reduce the triad symptoms (cognitive impairment, gait disturbance and urinary disturbance). We examined whether they also reduce caregiver burden.; Methods: The personal strain (PS) and role strain (RS) factors, which are related to the stress and constraints, respectively, on the caregivers […]
Long-term effects of group therapy for patients with mild cognitive impairment and their significant others: a 6- to 8-month follow-up study

Forty-seven MCI patients and 47 significant others participated in the follow-up assessment. Results of the RAND-36, Illness Cognition Questionnaire, IQCODE, GDS-15 […]

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of cognitive training in a 10-week randomised controlled study involving 22 individuals presenting with mild cognitive impairment of the amnestic type (MCI-A). Participants in the experimental group (n = 11) learned face–name associations using a paradigm combining errorless (EL) learning and spaced retrieval (SR) whereas participants in the […]
Time until incident dementia among Medicare beneficiaries using centrally acting or non-centrally acting ACE inhibitors
Hebert, Paul L.,
McBean, Alexander Marshall,
O'Connor, Heidi,
Frank, Barbara,
Good, Charles,
Maciejewski, Matthew L.
Background: Centrally active (CA) angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are able to cross the blood–brain barrier. Small observational studies and mouse models suggest that use of CA versus non-CA ACEIs is associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).; Objective: The aim of this research was to assess the effect of CA […]
