Background: Social networks and social participation have protective effects on cognitive function maintenance Alzheimer’s disease general dementia development. Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between conversations incidence in older adults. Methods: This longitudinal prospective cohort study used population data from National Center for Geriatric Gerontology–Study of Syndromes (NCGG–SGS) September 2015 February 2017. The database included 4,167 individuals Japan aged ≥60...
Importance Loneliness is suggested to negatively affect physical and mental health influence the development of disability; however, a consensus on relationship between loneliness disability has not been reached. Age-related hearing impairment worsens daily-life activities older adults, association incidence may be influenced by impairment. Objective To examine among adults stratified Design, Setting, Participants This prospective observational cohort study included 5563 community-dwelling...
Cognitive reserve (CR) is a property of the brain that allows for better-than-expected cognitive performance relative to degree change over course life. However, neurophysiological markers CR remain under-investigated. Electroencephalography (EEG) features may function as suitable CR. To assess this, we investigated whether dorsal attention network (DAN) and ventral (VAN) activities, measured during resting-state EEG, moderate relationship between hippocampal volume episodic memory.
Regular physical activity throughout life is generally recommended to prevent dementia; however, there little evidence regarding the association between lifetime and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which often precedes dementia. This study aimed examine of their transitions with late-life MCI.
The emergence of disease-modifying treatment options for Alzheimer disease is creating a paradigm shift in strategies to identify patients with mild symptoms primary care settings. Systematic reviews on digital cognitive tests reported that most showed diagnostic performance comparable paper-and-pencil impairment and dementia. However, studies have small sample sizes, fewer than 100 individuals, are based case-control or cross-sectional designs. This study aimed examine the predictive...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Low cognitive function and poor health literacy are risk factors for dementia have a bidirectional relationship. Here, we examined their individual combined effects on the incidence of dementia. METHODS This longitudinal study included 2445 community‐dwelling Japanese older adults aged ≥ 65 years without at baseline. We assessed participants’ baseline using multidomain neurocognitive test Communicative Critical Health Literacy Scale, respectively. Participants were...
Abstract Background Although loneliness has been associated with reduced physical activity, the association between exercise habits and remains unclear. Methods This study examined whether are among older adults by sex. included 10 152 individuals. The University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale was used to measure loneliness, a score 44 or more defined as loneliness. Information on during year obtained using questionnaire participants performed 14 types exercise. Binomial logistic...
The present study developed a simplified decision-tree algorithm for fall prediction with easily measurable predictors using data from longitudinal cohort study: 2520 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years or participated. Fall history, age, sex, fear of falling, prescribed medication, knee osteoarthritis, lower limb pain, gait speed, and timed up go test were assessed in the baseline survey as predictors. Moreover, recent falls follow-up survey. We created fall-prediction analysis...
Abstract Background Physical frailty accelerates the timing of both subsequent disability and death; however, evidence regarding impact on period from onset to death sex differences this is lacking. The aim study was examine relationship among physical frailty, disability, death, differences. Methods This Japanese cohort included 10,524 community‐dwelling people aged ≥65 years. operationalized by key phenotypes as per Fried's criteria (slowness, weakness, exhaustion, weight loss, low...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The prevalence of hearing and visual impairment (HI VI) dual sensory (DSI), which is a combination both, increasing as the population ages. These impairments are expected to increase cognitive load information processing from vision impair appropriate processing. Although an association between DSI decline has been reported, more detailed study effects on each domain required. This aimed investigate self-reported in community-dwelling older...
