Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCR) is a predementia stage where slow gait speed and subjective memory complaints are present. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence MCR assess its relationship with sociodemographic factors chronic conditions.
Abstract Background With this study, we aim to determine the associations of different categories body mass index (BMI) with activities daily living (ADL) and cognitive performance in two populations community; Colombian South Korean older adults. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis surveys separately; The Survey on Health, Well-Being, Aging Colombia (SABE) ( n = 23,343) Longitudinal Study aging (KLoSA) 4556). Participants than 50 years were selected from rural urban areas...
As the world's population ages, prevalence of cognitive impairment associated with age increases. This increase is particularly pronounced in Asia and South-America. The objective this study was to investigate separately longitudinal association physical activity function in; older adults Mexico South Korea. a secondary analysis two surveys, Mexican Health aging Study (MHAS) (n = 5853) Korean Longitudinal (KLoSA) 5188), designed process living Participants than 50 years were selected from...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Gait speed (GS) is a predictor of negative outcomes in older adults and those risk to develop cognitive impairment; as such, it has been associated with dementia. Studies Latin-American showing this association are scarce. This study aimed evaluate the relationship between GS dementia representative sample Colombian adults. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> secondary analysis from Survey on Health, Well-Being, Aging, SABE (from...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are often overlooked and under-identified associated with dementia, despite their significant impact on the prognosis of individuals living disease. The specific role certain NPS in functional remains unclear.To determine association different decline people Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Lewy body dementia (LBD).This is an analysis data from Dementia Study Western Norway (DemVest) 196 patients included which 111 had AD 85 LBD. Inventory (NPI) Rapid Disability...
Background Identification of cognitive impairment is based traditionally on the neuropsychological tests and biomarkers that are not available widely. This study aimed to establish association between motor function (gait speed handgrip strength) performance in Mini-Mental State Examination, globally by domains. A secondary goal was calculating a cut-off point for gait strength classify older adults as cognitively impaired. Methods analysis SABE Colombia (Salud, Bienestar &amp;...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Early markers of neurodegeneration provide an opportunity to detect, monitor, and initiate interventions in individuals who have increased risk developing dementia. Here, we investigated whether the Timed Up Go (TUG) test is associated with early brain TUG could be a marker cognitive decline people subjective (SCD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This longitudinal analysis Dementia Disease Initiation Study, prospective,...
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) is a major regulator of neuroinflammatory processes in neurodegeneration. To date, the p.H157Y variant TREM2 has been reported only patients with Alzheimer's disease. Here, we report three frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from unrelated families heterozygous TREM2: two Colombian (study 1) and third Mexican origin case USA 2).To determine if might be associated specific FTD presentation, compared each study cases age-matched,...
Describe the self-reported prevalence of glaucoma in Colombian older adults, emphasizing most important risk factors and associated daily-life functional alterations.This a secondary analysis Health, Wellness, Aging survey conducted year 2015. Diagnosis was obtained from self-report. Functional variables were assessed through activities daily living questionnaires. A descriptive followed by bivariate multivariate regression models adjusting for confounding conducted.Self-reported 5.67%, with...
Muscular dysfunction and cognitive impairment are both disabling states, affecting especially the elderly. Thus, important subjects of research. Our goal is to describe association between these two entities in elderly.This a secondary analysis from SABE 2012 Bogota survey, which cross-sectional study. We define muscular as an abnormal result gait speed and/or handgrip strength tasks. Cognitive was defined Mini Mental State Examination. Other independent variables were measured.A total 1,564...
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a highly heritable condition. Up to 40% of FTD familial and an estimated 15% due single-gene mutations. It has been that the G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9ORF72 gene can explain up 37.5% cases FTD, especially populations Caucasian origin. The purpose this paper evaluate hereditary risk across clinical phenotypes frequency expansion Colombian cohort diagnosed with FTD. Methods: A total 132 patients were according established criteria behavioral...
Background: Hippocampal atrophy is presented in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Cognition, dual-tasks, muscular function, goal-related behaviors neuropsychiatric symptoms are linked to hippocampal volumes may lead functional decline activities of daily living. We examined the association between baseline subfield (HSv) mild AD DLB, decline. Materials & methods: 12 HSv were computed from structural magnetic resonance images using Freesurfer 6.0 segmentation....
OBJETIVO: Describir y analizar las características clínicas, funcionales, nutricionales sociales de pacientes con demencia avanzada (DA), hospitalizados a cargo del servicio geriatría Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (HUSI) su relación desenlaces hospitalarios, comparando no avanzada. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo en ancianos por el HUSI, revisión retrospectiva historias clínicas perioro tiempo entre enero 2016 diciembre 2017. La variable dependiente fue DA....
