Cognitive changes in mild cognitive impairment patients with impaired visual recognition memory
Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether assessing memory using the visual recognition memory task DMS48 in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) can contribute to the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In an 18-month follow-up study, we assessed if longitudinal change in aMCI patients who failed on the DMS48 differs from that of patients […]

A complex multimodal activity intervention to reduce the risk of dementia in mild cognitive impairment–ThinkingFit: Pilot and feasibility study for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Dementia affects 35 million people worldwide and is currently incurable. Many cases may be preventable because regular participation in physical, mental and social leisure activities during middle age is associated with up to 47% dementia risk reduction. However, the majority of middle-aged adults are not active enough. MCI is therefore a clear target for […]

Fish consumption and cognitive function among older people in the UK: baseline data from the OPAL study
Background: Observational epidemiological data suggest that habitual consumption in later life of oily fish, rich in n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPs), is associated with better cognitive function, slower rates of cognitive decline and a lower risk of dementia. In this paper we present data on baseline fish consumption and cognitive function in cognitively […]

The effect of passive listening versus active observation of music and dance performances on memory recognition and mild to moderate depression in cognitively impaired older adults
The study examined the effects of music therapy and dance/movement therapy on cognitively impaired and mild to moderately depressed older adults. Passive listening to music and active observation of dance accompanied by music were studied in relation to memory enhancement and relief of depressive symptoms in 100 elderly board and care residents. The Beck Depression […]

The FABS trial: a randomised control trial of the effects of a 6-month physical activity intervention on adherence and long-term physical activity and self-efficacy in older adults with memory complaints
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess in older adults with memory complaints, the effects of a 6-month home-based physical activity (PA) intervention on short-term adherence, short and long-term self-efficacy and the predictors of adherence.; Methods: Participants with memory complaints with or without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were recruited from Perth, Western Australia […]

Long-acting intranasal insulin detemir improves cognition for adults with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage Alzheimer’s disease dementia
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 45(4) of Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (see record [rid]2015-17286-023[/rid]). In the original article, Tables 1 and 2 were missing. Tables 1 and 2 are present in the erratum.] Previous trials have shown promising effects of intranasally administered insulin for adults with Alzheimer’s disease dementia […]

The Verbal Clock Test: preliminary validation of a brief, vision- and motor-free measure of executive function in a clinical sample
Assessment of executive functions is frequently time-consuming, and although some brief measures exist they are subject to problems associated with limited education, culture of origin, impairments of motor or visual systems, and tolerability. Preliminary validation of a newly developed measure, the Verbal Clock Test (VCT), was conducted in a clinical sample of 294 patients who […]

Effect of cognitive training on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in lymphocytes of mild cognitive impairment patients
To identify biomarkers associated with cognitive stimulation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, we performed quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA in peripheral lymphocytes of MCI and healthy subjects undergoing a multi-component cognitive training (CT) program. CT determined a significant decrease of BDNF mRNA levels in MCI (fold […]

Evidence for neurocognitive plasticity in at-risk older adults: the experience corps program
Objective: To determine whether Experience Corps (EC), a social service program, would improve age-vulnerable executive functions and increase activity in brain regions in a high-risk group through increased cognitive and physical activity.; Methods: Eight community-dwelling, older female volunteers and nine matched wait-list controls were recruited to serve in the ongoing EC: Baltimore program in three […]

Promoting health in early-stage dementia: evaluation of a 12-week course
This project tested a 12-week health promotion course for older adults with early-stage dementia. In a quasi-experimental design, participants were assigned by site to intervention group or control group and evaluated at two time points. Mini-Mental State Examination scores, Geriatric Depression Scale scores, health behaviors, plus several measures of psychological well-being were used in this […]
