Background: The amygdala has an important role in cognitive and affective functions. The involvement of amygdala and related limbic structures is implicated in many aspects of memory and emotion in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In the present study, we aimed to compare the volumetric measurements of amygdala and its subfields as well as their association with cognitive functions in stable MCI (sMCI).

Methods: Participants (n = 6316) were from two parallel, prospective aging cohorts in rural and urban India.
Objective: The burden of cardiovascular risk factors is increasing in India, which, in turn, can adversely impact cognition. Our objective was to examine the effect of cardiovascular risk factors measured by Framingham Risk Score (FRS) on cognitive performance among a cohort of healthy, ageing individuals (n=3609) aged ≥45 years from rural India.
Design: A cross-sectional analysis.
Introduction: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns is likely to have caused adverse changes in lifestyle-related/cardiovascular risk factors and other such modifiable risk factors of dementia. We aimed to examine the pandemic's impact on some modifiable risk factors of dementia among rural Indians belonging to a large, prospective aging cohort-Srinivaspura Aging, NeuoSenescence, and COGnition (SANSCOG).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among adults aged ≥ 45 years ( = 3,148; 1,492 males and 1,656 females) residing in the villages of Srinivaspura in Karnataka state, India.
