Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how feeling sad and drinking too much alcohol affects risky driving in men who have been caught driving while impaired.
- Researchers asked participants about their mood, drinking habits, and how much they like excitement, then checked their driving habits again after 3 and 9 years.
- The results showed that drinking too much alcohol is linked to risky driving, but being in a depressed mood didn’t really make a difference.
Background And Purpose: Autopsy studies suggest that cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is associated with cognitive impairment and risk for dementia. We analyzed neuropsychological test data from a prospective cohort study of patients with CAA to identify the prevalence of cognitive impairment and its associations with brain magnetic resonance imaging features and the apolipoprotein E genotype.
Methods: Data were analyzed from 34 CAA, 16 Alzheimer's disease, 69 mild cognitive impairment, and 27 ischemic stroke participants.
