The prevalence of cognitive impairment is insufficiently determined in developing countries. aim this study was to ascertain the without dementia and community-dwelling elderly Brazil.This a single-phase cross-sectional survey (aged 60 years above) living municipality Tremembé, Brazil. Twenty percent households with persons were randomly selected from urban rural areas, obtain homogenous representation all socioeconomic cultural levels.We assessed 630 individuals [mean age, 71.3 y (±7.99);...
Abstract Introduction Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is classically considered a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. Non-amnestic MCI (naMCI) patients, however, typically demonstrate deficits other than memory decline. Furthermore, as group, naMCI have lower rate of an eventual dementia diagnosis compared to amnestic subtypes (aMCI). Unfortunately, studies investigating biomarker profiles are scarce. The study objective was investigate the regional brain glucose metabolism...
Background: Aerobic training (AT) is a promising intervention for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Objective: To evaluate the effects of AT on cognition and regional brain glucose metabolism (rBGM) in MCI patients. Methods: Subjects performed twice-a-week, moderate intensity, program 24 weeks. Assessment with ADAS-cog, comprehensive neuropsychological battery, evaluation rBGM positron emission tomography 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG-PET) were before after intervention. capacity was...
It is not easy to differentiate patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from subjective memory complainers (SMC). Assessments screening tools are essential, particularly in primary care where most seen. The objective of this study was evaluate the diagnostic accuracy tests and propose a score derived tests. Elderly subjects complaints were evaluated using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) Brief Cognitive Battery (BCB). We added two delayed recalls MMSE (a recall late-delayed recall,...
Abstract Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) can be an intermediate state between normality and dementia in some patients. An early diagnosis, through neuropsychological assessment, could identify individuals at risk of developing dementia. Objective: To verify differences performance on tests among controls, amnestic MCI (aMCI) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) Methods: Sixty-eight AD patients (mean age 73.77±7.24; mean schooling 9.04±4.83; 40 women 28 men), 34 aMCI 74.44±7.05; 12.35±4.01; 20 women) 60...
Depression is a major growing public health problem. Many population studies have found significant relationship between depression and the presence of cognitive disorders. OBJECTIVE: To establish correlation Visual Analogue Scale Happiness Cornell for in Dementia aged 60 years or over city Tremembé, state São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: An epidemiological survey involving home visits was carried out Tremembé. The sample randomly selected by drawing 20% older from each city's census sectors. In...
Depression is a heterogeneous mental disease classified as set of disorders, which manifest with certain duration, frequency and intensity. The prevalence depression in the elderly ranges from 0.5 to 16%.To establish, an epidemiological study, significant depressive symptoms population aged 60 years or older.Results cross-sectional involving home visits, being carried out city Tremembé, Brazil, were reported. sample was randomly selected by drawing 20% over each city's census sectors. In...
Electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence is a parameter that enables evaluation of cerebral connectivity. It may be related to the functional state brain. In elderly, it reflect neuronal loss caused by aging. To describe characteristics in nonagenarians.We evaluated interhemispheric for alpha band 42 cognitively normal individuals aged 90 101 years. Coherence values occipital electrode (O1O2), resting with closed eyes, were calculated means spectral analysis using digital EEG EMSA 32...
Working memory (WM) is vital for other cognitive functions and the maintenance of activities daily life. It known to follow a trajectory marked decline in aging. WM training may enhance performance facilitate autonomy older people. This study aimed investigate impact an-eight-session on psychological well-being (PWB) adults without dementia depression. The PWB has rarely been investigated. In all, 31 individuals received (EG) 29 took part wait list control group (CG). Pre post-test protocols...
ABSTRACT. Judgment is the ability to make sound decisions after consideration of relevant information, possible solutions, likely outcomes, and contextual factors. Loss judgment common in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) dementia. The Test Practical (TOP-J) evaluates practical adults elderly, 15- 9-item versions that require individuals listen scenarios about everyday problems report their solutions. Objective: Adaptation TOP-J for a Brazilian sample, preparation reduced version...
Judgment is the ability to make sound decisions after careful consideration of available information, possible solutions, likely outcomes and contextual factors. From a neuropsychological perspective, concept judgment involves memory, language, sustained attention, reasoning specially executive functions. Loss has been described in Mils Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The Test Practical (TOP-J) an originally American measure, created for evaluate everyday older adults. It 15-item open-ended...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome that may have several etiologies. It general consensus amnestic forms of MCI (aMCI) can be symptomatic pre-dementia phase Alzheimer's disease (AD), while non-amnestic (naMCI) are due to other diseases than AD. Accordingly, biomarkers AD should different in and MCI. The objective this study was compare cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, magnetic resonance image (MRI) positron emission tomography with 18 F-fluordeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) among...
Memory problem is a frequent complaint faced by health care providers in primary care. In busy daily practice where time an important and limiting factor, coupled with the unavailability of formal neuropsychological testing for all patients, epidemiological data bedside cognitive evaluation could be clues to correct diagnostic. The objective this study was evaluate socio-demographic profiles that may help differentiate patients mild impairment (MCI) memory (MC) screening medical appointment....
