Background: The relationship between the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet and cognition has not been widely investigated in low- to middle-income countries. We MIND Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) baseline data. Methods: included 11,788 participants. adherence was based on intake 15 components according a food frequency questionnaire. analyzed association global cognition, memory, executive function using adjusted linear...

Excess sugar consumption, particularly in sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), has been linked to poor cognitive performance. We aimed assess the association of consumption total sugar, as well SSBs, solid desserts, and 100% fruit juice with performance among older adults.Consumption were obtained from 24-hr recall interview. Cognitive was evaluated using Consortium Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease word list, Animal Fluency Test, Digit Symbol Substitution Test. Binary logistic...

Abstract Background Life's Simple 7, a lifestyle and cardiovascular index associated with cognition, has been updated to Essential 8 (LE8) include sleep. LE8 related outcomes but its association cognition is unclear. Method s In this longitudinal analysis of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study Adult Health (ELSA‐Brasil), score was based on health behaviors (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health) as well health‐related factors (body mass index, blood lipids, glucose,...

Peripheral arterial disease, as measured by the ankle-brachial index (ABI), is prevalent among elderly, and associated with functional performance, assessed 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Executive cognitive function (ECF) impairments are also in this population, but no existing study has investigated association between ECF performance an elderly population including individuals low ABI.To investigate 6MWT, loss ECF, sample ABI.The ABI group was formed 26 (mean ABI: 0.63±0.19), control 40...

Socioeconomic factors are important contributors to brain health. However, data from developing countries (where social inequalities the most prominent) still scarce, particularly about hypertensive individuals.To evaluate relationship between socioeconomic index, cognitive function, and cortical volume, as well determine whether white matter hyperintensities mediators of association index with function in individuals.We assessed 92 participants (mean age = 58±8.6 years, 65.2%female)....

It is estimated that 2% of dementia cases worldwide could be prevented with increases in physical activity. However, there little evidence the association between vigorous activity (VPA) and cognitive performance. This study aimed to investigate moderate (MPA) VPA performance older adults from Brazilian Longitudinal Study Aging (ELSI-Brasil).

Abstract Background Consumption of ultra‐processed foods (UPF) has progressively increased worldwide in the last 30 years. High intake UPF is associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer hypothesized to induce systemic inflammation oxidative stress. Although may also be a risk factor for cognitive decline through these pathways, little lnown about effects on cognition. We aimed investigate longitudinal association between consumption ELSA‐Brasil study during 9 years follow‐up. Method...

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis are susceptible to the development of autonomic dysfunction, which is associated an increased risk sudden death. Experimental and clinical evidence suggest a crucial role dysfunction for both, progression high rate cardiovascular events in these patients.

Introduction: Hypertension is a risk factor for working memory (WM) impairment, and the Cogmed training has been tested as non-pharmacological alternative to WM rehabilitation. However, benefits of hypertensive population are unknown. Therefore, we aimed evaluate Cogmed’s effects on performance individuals with executive function (EF) impairment.
