Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
Background: Treatment with monoclonal antibodies against amyloid-β slowed cognitive decline in recent randomized clinical trials in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, trial eligibility criteria may affect generalizability to clinical practice.
Methods: We extracted eligibility criteria for trials of aducanumab, lecanemab and donanemab from published reports, and applied these to participants with MCI and early clinical AD dementia from the population-based Rotterdam Study.
Association between physical multimorbidity in middle adulthood and mortality: findings from two large cohort studies in Japan.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Prevention, Center for Clinical Sciences, National Center for Global Health and Medicine, 1-21-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 162-8655, Japan.
Background: While previous literature suggests that multimorbidity is linked to a higher risk of mortality, evidence is scarce among individuals in middle adulthood. We aimed to examine the association between physical multimorbidity and all-cause mortality among individuals aged 40-64 years at baseline in Japan.
Methods: Data were obtained from two cohort studies, the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study (JPHC) and the Japan Epidemiology Collaboration on Occupational Health Study (J-ECOH).
