Objectives: To evaluate the predictive utility of proactive semantic interference (PSI) and failure to recover from proactive semantic interference (frPSI) deficits on the longitudinal everyday functional decline on the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) among older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).
Design: Longitudinal prospective cohort study.
Setting: 1Florida Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (1FLADRC).
Background: Long-COVID has mostly been investigated in clinical settings. We aimed to assess the risk, subtypes, persistence, and determinants of long-COVID in a prospective population-based study of adults with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Catalonia.
Methods: We examined 2764 infected individuals from a population-based cohort (COVICAT) established before the pandemic and followed up three times across the pandemic (2020, 2021, 2023).
Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical diagnosis representing early symptom changes with preserved functional independence. There are multiple potential etiologies of MCI. While often presumed to be related to Alzheimer's disease (AD), other neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative causes are common.

Associations between mental disorders and antibody response might vary by specific disorders, depend on the long-term course of the illness and relate to psychotropic treatment.
Methods: The association between mental illness diagnoses (mood affective disorders, anxiety disorders, other) over ten years and psychotropic drug prescription based on electronic health records with antibody levels (IgG and IgA) post COVID-19 vaccination was assessed in 939 vaccinated adults from Catalonia, Spain.
