Abstract Although essential tremor (ET) is considered the most prevalent adult movement disorder, available information on its prevalence and distribution worldwide not completely understood. We investigated of ET in three elderly Spanish populations using a door‐to‐door, two‐phase approach. A brief screening instrument was administered May 1, 1994 to subjects over 64 years old taken from census one urban municipality Greater Madrid (quarter Margaritas, Getafe), district (Lista), rural site...
A two-phase investigation method (screening followed by detailed examination) is the most accurate epidemiologic approach to estimate epidemiology of Parkinson disease (PD) and secondary parkinsonism. The scarcity statistics on incidence PD other types parkinsonism using this methodology led authors them in three elderly populations.A Spanish parkinsonism-free cohort was for an average 3 years. At end follow-up, survivors were contacted way screening clinical examination.The consisted 5,160...
Background and purpose: We determined in a population‐based study whether sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of incident dementia. Methods: In central Spain, participants were evaluated at baseline 3 years later. Baseline demographic variables recorded indicated their daily as the sum night‐time daytime napping. The average total grouped into five categories: ≤5 (short sleepers), 6, 7 (reference), 8, ≥9 h (long sleepers). identified all cases dementia, diagnosed using...
In a 2009 Cochrane review, the authors concluded that there is good evidence statins, given in late life to people at risk of vascular disease, have no effect preventing Alzheimer's disease or dementia. A related issue, which remains unclear,
Given the uncertain relationship between objective and subjective memory complaints (SMC), we conducted a study of cognitive function in older people with large population-based elderly Spanish cohort (NEDICES). A total 1,073 subjects SMC matched controls free from dementia underwent neuropsychological assessment, including tests global performance, frontal executive function, verbal fluency, memory. were associated number specific deficits poor immediate delayed recall. However, there was...
Background: Few longitudinal studies have verified the clinical diagnosis of dementia based on examinations. We evaluated consistency over a period 3 years follow-up in population-based, cohort study older people central Spain. Methods: Individuals (N = 5278) were at baseline (1994-1995) and (1997-1998). The evaluation included screening questionnaire for neurological assessment. Results: Dementia consisted 37-item version Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Pfeffer Functional Activities...
<i>Objective:</i> Our aim was to assess prevalence rates of cerebrovascular disease (CVD; stroke and transient ischemic attacks) according age gender in three populations central Spain using data from the Neurological Disorders Central (NEDICES) study, a population-based survey elderly participants. <i>Methods:</i> Individuals one suburban municipality Greater Madrid (Las Margaritas neighborhood, Getafe), urban district (Lista) rural site (Arévalo county, Avila) were...
Background: Tens of glycemic variability (GV) indices are available in the literature to characterize dynamic properties glucose concentration profiles from continuous monitoring (CGM) sensors. However, how exploit plethora GV for classifying subjects is still controversial. For instance, basic problem using automatically determine if subject healthy rather than affected by impaired tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes (T2D), unaddressed. Here, we analyzed feasibility CGM-based distinguish...
Alzheimer disease (AD) mortality risk in a large cohort of subjects treated or not with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is unknown. Our objective was to determine whether NSAIDs use associated decreased AD mortality. In this prospective, population-based study (Neurological Disorders Central Spain [NEDICES]) 5,072 people without (aged 65 years and older), sociodemographic, comorbidity factors, current medications were recorded at baseline. Community-dwelling older adults...
In 1994–1995, a screening and examination survey was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of dementia, Parkinson’s disease stroke in two urban communities one rural community central Spain. We use this illustrate many nonclinical aspects conducting two-phase surveys. Special emphasis is given common weaknesses such surveys: nonparticipation validation.

In Spain, more than 85% of coronary heart disease deaths occur in adults older 65 years. However, incidence and mortality the Spanish elderly have been poorly described. The aim this study is to estimate ten-year rates myocardial infarction a population-based large cohort elders.A 3729 people 64 years old, free previous infarction, was established 1995 three geographical areas Spain. Any case fatal non-fatal investigated until December 2004 using "cold pursuit method", previously used...
Design: we used data from the Neurological Disorders in Central Spain (NEDICES), a population-based study.
To evaluate whether memory impairment detected in the three-word delayed recall task of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) increases risk mortality.The NEDICES (Neurological Diseases Central Spain) cohort study, is a population census-based aimed at detecting age-associated neurological diseases people aged 65 and over, living one rural two urban communities central Spain. Participants with dementia or without MMSE evaluation baseline were excluded. Mortality was evaluated 10.67 years...
Sense of Coherence (SOC) is defined as a tendency to perceive life experiences comprehensible, manageable and meaningful.

SOC has been associated with successful coping strategies the face illness traumatic events predictor self-reported objective health variety contexts. In present study we aim evaluate association disability dependence Spanish elders. A total 377 participants aged 75 years or over...
Abstract Objective To determine whether selective memory impairment (SMI) on an adapted Mini‐Mental State Examination (aMMSE) test increases risk of future dementia in a population‐based survey central Spain. Background SMI is strong predictor the elderly. However, most approaches have used extensive batteries, which are not always suitable for screening purposes. Methods The basal cohort consisted 2982 poorly educated individuals aged 65 or over. Dementia, stroke and parkinsonism cases were...
Means of vascular access are fundamental in the management cancer. However, since current intravenous devices for long-term treatment expensive and necessitate a high degree education among medical personnel, developing countries they impractical use most population. We describe nontunneled, low-cost, long-lasting Silastic catheter (LLSC), cared by an therapy team (IVTT), 462 patients with The rate infectious complications was 0.66 infections per 1,000 catheter-days, which is as low that...
