Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Background: Some types of cancer have been associated with reduced risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Whether cancer history may be associated with neuropathological features of neurodegeneration or cerebrovascular disease is not well understood. We investigated the relation between cancer diagnosis and brain pathology in a sample of community-based research volunteers enrolled in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohort.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Aging Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Dementia is strongly linked to increased care use, but the use of formal and informal care throughout dementia journey remains unclear.
Method: Within a population-based cohort study, we identified 240 older adults (aged ≥78 years) with who developed CIND and 155 with incident dementia. These participants were matched to 480 and 310 cognitively intact participants, respectively, and their formal and informal care use and care hours were compared with a control groups before and after diagnosis of cognitive disorders.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Background: In Zambia, dementia prevalence is unknown due to limited community awareness and a lack of providers skilled in recognizing and diagnosing this disease. Community healthcare workers (CHWs) are widely utilized across sub-Saharan Africa to improve health care access, particularly HIV services. CHWs may be an untapped resource to raise awareness, screen for dementia, and support dementia care in the community.

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Zigong First People's Hospital, 42 Shangyihao Yizhi Street, Zigong, Sichuan, China.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an important cause of neurological dysfunction, and the aim of this study was to explore whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic inflammatory response (SIRI), and systemic immune inflammation (SII) are associated with the risk of developing PD. Based on this, we may identify people at high risk for PD and intervene early. Our study included 31,480 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2001 and 2018.

Eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening (LCS) were updated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2022 following an updated recommendation from the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Recently, research has examined LCS use in the United States following this change, which centered on lowering the age to begin screening from 55 to 50 years and the smoking history threshold from 30 to 20 pack-years. These studies, including the accompanying article from Gudina and colleagues, have used the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System data, which are publicly available and nationally representative.
