Depression Diagnosis Tied to Increased Dementia Risk
Researchers sought to examine associations of early-, middle-, and late-life depression with the risk of developing dementia.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Alzheimer Disease Prevalence Highest in East, Southeast US
Researchers sought to estimate the prevalence and number of adults living with Alzheimer disease across US states and counties.
Quality Slow-Wave NREM Sleep May Be Protective in Alzheimer Disease
In an observational study, researchers looked at factors, such as slow-wave NREM sleep, that could explain the differences in cognitive function among individuals with the same level of brain pathology.
Common Gout Medication May Help Reduce Risk for Neurodegenerative Diseases
In a large, population-based case-control study, researchers identified prescription medications associated with a lower risk for 3 neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Osteoarthritis Associated With Acceleration of Beta-Amyloid Accumulation
Researchers sought to assess how osteoarthritis and APOE-4 influence the accumulation of Aβ and tau accumulation in the primary motor and somatosensory regions in older adults who are Aβ+.
Is Widespread Chronic Pain Associated With a Higher Dementia Risk?
Researchers sought to assess whether a greater number of chronic pain sites was associated with a higher risk for dementia and its subtypes.
Hearing Aids May Help Reduce Dementia Risk in Adults With Hearing Loss
In a population cohort study, researchers determined potential associations between hearing aid use and dementia risk in older adults.
Timing of Menopause, Hormone Therapy Initiation Tied to Tau Vulnerability in Women
Researchers sought to determine the extent in which sex, age at menopause, and hormone therapy use are associated with regional tau at a given level of Aβ — both measured with PET.
Mediterranean, MIND Diets May Slow Down Alzheimer Disease Pathology
Researchers sought to examine the associations among MIND and Mediterranean diets and beta-amyloid load, phosphorylated tau tangles, and global AD pathology in postmortem brain tissue of older adults.
Regular Use of Laxatives Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
In a prospective cohort study, researchers examined the association between regular use of laxatives and the risk for dementia in UK Biobank participants.
