Decreased Incidence and Risk for Dementia in Older Adult Patients With Gout
Researchers investigated the association between gout and dementia in older adult patients.
Dementia
Accelerated Trajectory of CV Risk Predicts Dementia Risk
Those with accelerated versus stable cardiovascular risk trajectory have increased risk for memory decline
Folate Deficiency in Seniors May Increase Dementia, Mortality Risks
But evidence suggests that reverse causation may play a role in the links between serum folate deficiency and dementia, all-cause mortality
Dementia Risk Lower in Older Adults With Higher Baseline Blood Pressure Level
The researchers sought to assess whether the association between systolic blood pressure and dementia risk is U-shaped, and if age and comorbidity play a role in this association.
SHPT Treatment Tied With Lower Dementia Risk
Elevated parathyroid hormone has been reported as a potential risk factor for cognitive impairment.
Hypertension in Early, Mid Adulthood Linked to Smaller Brain Volume
Individuals diagnosed with hypertension at 35 to 44 years of age have higher risk for all-cause dementia
BCG for Bladder Cancer May Lower Alzheimer Disease Risk
The risk for alzheimer disease decreased with increased dosing of BCG.
Hyperuricemia, Gout Do Not Raise Dementia Risk
Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer disease.
Longitudinal CV Risk Inversely Linked to Cognitive Performance
Elevated systolic BP, high serum total cholesterol, obesity from childhood linked to worse midlife cognitive performance
Renal Function Decline Associated With Increased Dementia Risk
Older adults with an eGFR of 30 to 59 and less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 had a 1.7- and 2.6-fold fold higher risk of dementia, respectively, compared with those who had normal kidney function (eGFR 90-104 mL/min/1.73 m2).
