Tau Positron Emission Tomography Better Predicts Cognitive Decline Among Patients With Alzheimer Disease
The researchers sought to understand the prognostic value of tau positron emission tomography for predicting cognitive decline across the clinical spectrum of Alzheimer disease.
With Type 1 Diabetes, Cognition Declines With Aging, Lack of Control of Glycemia and BP
The researchers hypothesized that as the participants became older adults, their cognitive functioning would decline more steeply relative to earlier assessments.
Parkinson Disease-Related Brain Metabolic Patterns as Phenoconversion Biomarker
This prospective cohort study assessed whether PD-related brain metabolic patterns may be used as biomarkers in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder.
Proposal Aims to Better Equip Clinicians for Early Dementia Detection, Diagnosis
A new set of recommendations from the Milken Institute identifies key ways to engage direct care workers in improving timely dementia detection and diagnosis in a variety of healthcare settings, including specialty care.
More Research Needed on Virtual Assessment of Cognitive Function
Three studies comparing videoconference with in-person cognitive assessments demonstrate good reliability and accuracy of virtual cognitive assessments in diagnosing dementia.
Study Finds Age at Diabetes Onset Significantly Associated With Incident Dementia
Investigators sought to determine whether age at onset of diabetes is associated with incident dementia.
Sleep-Deprived Adults at Higher Risk for Dementia
While sleep dysregulation is a feature of dementia, it remains unclear whether the duration of sleep prior to old age is associated with dementia. The researchers examined the association between sleep duration and incidence of dementia using a 25-year follow-up.
Researchers Propose New Definition of Brain Health
In correspondence published in The Lancet Neurology, researchers proposed a new definition of adult brain health.
Longitudinal CV Risk Inversely Linked to Cognitive Performance
