Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Ageing Epidemiology Reseach Unit (AGE), School of Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Background: Several studies have investigated the link between sleep disturbances and allostatic load (AL), but the results are varied, and less is known about the associations in clinical samples. The goal of this study is to assess the associations between sleep disturbances and AL among memory clinic participants, and to examine differences according to sex, beta-amyloid status and history of burnout status.
Method: The study was based on 146 memory clinic participants diagnosed with either Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) in the Cortisol and Stress in Alzheimer's Disease Study (Co-STAR) (Sweden).
Background: Timely identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is key to early intervention. While primary care providers are the most likely entry point to detect early signs of MCI, their detection rates are low. Building upon a published study, we used electronic health records (EHR) to develop a clinically enhanced MCI risk prediction algorithm.

However, longitudinal studies on insomnia and dementia have mostly had too short follow-up time to separate etiological risk factors from prodromal symptoms. Moreover, the impact of mortality as a competing risk has been overlooked.
