Abstract

In 54 participants (41% women) from the Czech arm of the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood, a national birth cohort with prospectively collected data from their birth until young adulthood, we aimed to study the association between early-life socioeconomic deprivation (ELSD), cognitive ability in adolescence, trait anxiety and resting state functional connectivity of the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) in young adulthood. We found that ELSD was associated with lower cognitive ability in adolescence (at age 13) as well as higher trait anxiety in young adulthood (at age 23/24). Higher cognitive ability in adolescence predicted lower trait anxiety in young adulthood. Resting state functional connectivity between the right LPFC and a cluster of voxels including left precentral gyrus, left postcentral gyrus and superior frontal gyrus mediated the relationship between lower cognitive ability in adolescence and higher trait anxiety in young adulthood. These findings indicate that lower cognitive ability and higher trait anxiety may be both consequences of socioeconomic deprivation in early life. The recruitment of the right LPFC may be the underlying mechanism, through which higher cognitive ability may ameliorate trait anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Studies from North America and Western Europe suggest stable or declining trends in impaired cognition across birth cohorts. Objective: We aimed to examine changes in the age-specific prevalence of cognitive impairment in the Czech Republic. Methods: The study used two samples from the population-based Czech Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. Age-specific prevalence of cognitive impairment (defined based on scores in verbal fluency, immediate recall, delayed recall, and temporal orientation) was compared between participants in wave 2 (2006/2007; n = 1,107) and wave 6 (2015; n = 3,104). Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between the wave and cognitive impairment, step-wise adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Multiple sensitivity analyses, focusing on alternative operationalizations of relative cognitive impairment, impact of missing cognitive data, and survival bias, were carried out. Results: The most conservative estimate suggested that the age-specific prevalence of cognitive impairment declined by one fifth, from 11% in 2006/2007 to 9% in 2015. Decline was observed in all sensitivity analyses. The change was associated with differences in physical inactivity, management of high blood cholesterol, and increases in length education. Conclusion: Older adults in the Czech Republic, a country situated in the Central and Eastern European region, have achieved positive developments in cognitive aging. Longer education, better management of cardiovascular factors, and reduced physical inactivity seem to be of key importance.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with dementia might have higher risk for hemorrhagic complications with anticoagulant therapy prescribed for atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE: This study assesses the risks and benefits of warfarin, antiplatelets, and no treatment in patients with dementia and AF. METHODS: Of 49,792 patients registered in the Swedish Dementia Registry 2007-2014, 8,096 (16%) had a previous diagnosis of AF. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate the risk for ischemic stroke (IS), nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, any-cause hemorrhage, and death. RESULTS: Out of the 8,096 dementia patients with AF, 2,143 (26%) received warfarin treatment, 2,975 (37%) antiplatelet treatment, and 2,978 (37%) had no antithrombotic treatment at the time of dementia diagnosis. Patients on warfarin had fewer IS than those without treatment (5.2% versus 8.7%; p < 0.001) with no differences compared to antiplatelets. In adjusted analyses, warfarin was associated with a lower risk for IS (HR 0.76, CI 0.59-0.98), while antiplatelets were associated with increased risk (HR 1.25, CI 1.01-1.54) compared to no treatment. For any-cause hemorrhage, there was a higher risk with warfarin (HR 1.28, CI 1.03-1.59) compared to antiplatelets. Warfarin and antiplatelets were associated with a lower risk for death compared to no treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Warfarin treatment in Swedish patients with dementia is associated with lower risk of IS and mortality, and a small increase in any-cause hemorrhage. This study supports the use of warfarin in appropriate cases in patients with dementia. The low percentage of patients on warfarin treatment indicates that further gains in stroke prevention are possible.

44. Stroke as a Cause of Death in Death Certificates of Patients with Dementia : A Cohort Study from the Swedish Dementia Registry

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Patients with dementia may be at a higher risk for death from stroke. We aimed to describe characteristics of dementia patients that died from ischemic stroke (IS) in Sweden. METHODS: A retrospective longitudinal analysis of prospectively collected data of patients registered into the Swedish Dementia Registry was conducted. Data on causes of death, drugs and comorbidities were acquired from the Swedish nationwide health registers. Deaths were attributed to stroke if the death certificate contained stroke as a cause of death and the patient had a stroke registered in Riksstroke, the Swedish Stroke Register, in the year preceding death. Demographic data at the time of dementia diagnosis was compared between patients dying from IS and registered in Riksstroke, patients dying from IS without being registered in Riksstroke and those dying from other causes. RESULTS: Out of 49823 patients diagnosed with dementia between 2007 and 2014 in primary care or specialist clinics, 14170 (28.4%) had died by the end of 2014. Of these 1180 (8.3%) had IS in their death certificate, of which 459 (38.9%) had been registered in Riksstroke. In patients who died of IS the most common type of dementia was vascular dementia while those died from other causes were most often diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia (AD). Patients who died from IS and were registered in Riksstroke had higher MMSE score compared to other groups. Patients who died from IS took more cardiovascular medications. There were no differences in the use of antipsychotics, antidepressants, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, anxiolytics, or hypnotics between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: There was a relatively high number of patients who died from IS as shown in their death certificate but had not been registered in Riksstroke in the year before death. This creates concerns on the accuracy of death certificate stroke diagnoses, particularly for deaths taking place outside hospitals.

45. Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Markers of Brain Health in a Biracial Middle-Aged Cohort: CARDIA Brain MRI Sub-study.

Author

Cermakova, Pavla, Ding, Jie, Meirelles, Osorio, Reis, Jared, Religa, Dorota, Schreiner, Pamela J, Jacobs, David R, Bryan, R Nick, and Launer, Lenore J

Subjects
*CAROTID intima-media thickness, *CARDIOVASCULAR diseases risk factors, *INTERNAL carotid artery, *CAROTID artery, *CEREBRAL circulation
Abstract

Background: We investigated whether carotid intima-media thickness is associated with measures of cerebral blood flow (CBF), white matter hyperintensities, and brain volume in a biracial cohort of middle-aged individuals.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional cohort study based on data from a multicenter, population-based study Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults. Using linear and logistic regression, we estimated the association of the composite intima-media thickness measured in three segments of carotid arteries (common carotid artery, carotid artery bulb, and internal carotid artery) with volume (cm3) and CBF (mL/100 g/min) in the total brain and gray matter as well as volume of white matter hyperintensities (cm3).Results: In the analysis, 461 participants (54% women, 34% African Americans) were included. Greater intima-media thickness was associated with lower CBF in gray matter (β=-1.36; p = .04) and total brain (β=-1.26; p = .04), adjusting for age, sex, race, education, and total brain volume. The associations became statistically nonsignificant after further controlling for cardiovascular risk factors. Intima-media thickness was not associated with volumes of total brain, gray matter, and white matter hyperintensities.Conclusions: This study suggests that lower CBF in middle age is associated with markers of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. This association may reflect early long-term exposure to traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Early intervention on atherosclerotic risk factors may modulate the trajectory of CBF as people age and develop brain pathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
