In particular, the CETP gene is linked to prevention of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. [90] Specifically, valine CETP homozygotes but not heterozygotes experienced a relative 51% less decline in memory compared to a reference group after adjusting for demographic factors and APOE status. [90]
The researchers looked at 181 potential risk factors, and then estimated how likely they are to predict dementia and cognitive impairment for people two, four, and 20 years after they turn 60.
A recent study highlights how cognitive decline can cost seniors a staggering amount of money –$31,000 on average – due to poor investment decisions or falling for scams. ... Over 60% of ...
B vitamins are especially important, as deficiencies in vitamin B12, thiamin or folic acid can contribute to cognitive decline. For instance, a lack of thiamin can lead to Wernicke-Korsakoff ...
The Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) is a questionnaire that can be filled out by a relative or other supporter of an older person to determine whether that person has declined in cognitive functioning. The IQCODE is used as a screening test for dementia. If the person is found to have significant cognitive ...
Normal aging is associated with a decline in various memory abilities in many cognitive tasks; the phenomenon is known as age-related memory impairment (AMI) or age-associated memory impairment (AAMI). The ability to encode new memories of events or facts and working memory shows decline in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. [8]
Men with cardiovascular disease risk factors, including obesity, may face earlier brain health decline compared to women, with the most pronounced effects occurring a decade sooner. A long-term ...
The hallmark symptom of LATE is a progressive memory loss that predominantly affects short-term and episodic memory. [1] This impairment is often severe enough to interfere with daily functioning and usually remains the chief neurologic deficit, unlike other types of dementia in which non-memory cognitive domains and behavioral changes might be noted earlier or more prominently.
