Background: Since March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to stop the spread of the virus, unprecedented measures were taken worldwide. One of the most important measures was the closure of schools and educational centers around the world in 2020, and very extreme health protocols have been in place in educational centers since they were reopened. From early childhood education to universities, teachers first had to adapt in a short period time to online classes and then continuously readapt to new protocols according to the pandemic situation.

Methods: We searched Pubmed database to identify all relevant papers published from January 2014 to March 2019. Prospective studies with a minimum follow-up period of 1 year, baseline depression assessment, absence of dementia or mild cognitive impairment at baseline were selected.
Anxiety has been suggested as a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, but results are still controversial. Our main objectives are to develop an updated meta-analysis of prospective population-based studies on the relationship between anxiety and risk of dementia, and to estimate the population fraction of dementia attributable to anxiety (PAF). : We searched for cohort studies listed on PubMed or Web of Science from January 2018 to January 2020 that reported risk estimates for the association between anxiety and incident dementia.

- The study aimed to estimate the relationship between anxiety and the risk of vascular dementia (VaD) using a meta-analysis of new data from a large cohort (ZARADEMP) and previous research.
- Findings suggested that individuals with anxiety had a 1.41 times higher risk of developing VaD in the ZARADEMP study, and when combined with two other studies, this risk increased to an odds ratio (OR) of 1.65.
- While anxiety appears to be linked to a higher risk of VaD, it's still uncertain whether anxiety causes VaD or is simply an early sign, indicating the need for more research.
To assess the association between anxiety and risk of vascular dementia (VaD), as well as potential sex differences, in a community-based cohort. A random sample of 4057 dementia-free community participants aged 55 or older, from the longitudinal, community-based Zaragoza Dementia and Depression Project (ZARADEMP) study were followed for 4.5 years.

Design: We identified relevant, high-quality papers published up to January 2018 by searching PubMed and Web of Science.
