Alzheimers Dement

UMass Chan Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA.
Background: The deficit of unawareness of cognitive impairment (cognitive anosognosia) is known to be associated with adverse health outcomes, caregiver burden, and worse cognitive outcomes. A better understanding of cognitive self-awareness and the ability to self-judge cognitive performance among the general population would enable a rational design of cognitive screening and improve how subjective cognitive decline and self-reported errors at tasks like medication administration are interpreted.
Method: Participants were enrolled in the Framingham Heart Study, which is a community-based cohort with three generations of participants.

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is the association between obesity, diabetes, CKD (chronic kidney disease), and cardiovascular disease. GDF-15 mainly acts through the GFRAL (Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor Family Receptor Alpha-Like) receptor. GDF-15 and GDFRAL complex act mainly through RET co-receptors, further activating Ras and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways through downstream signaling.
