Purpose: To explore the impact of personality on the decision process and satisfaction rates in pseudophakic presbyopic correction.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Greece.
Design: Prospective, comparative study.
Methods: A consistent consultation was conducted in patients with cataract that explained the benefits and the drawbacks of bilateral trifocal correction, which was offered at no extra cost. In all participants, personality was evaluated by The Traits Personality Questionnaire 5. Data modeling with decision trees and multiple regression analysis identified the contributions of personality traits to the decision process and postoperative satisfaction.
Results: Of 120 participants (60 men and 60 women), 81 (67.5%, 24 men, 57 women) selected premium correction. In men, low neuroticism and high extraversion were the primary personality contributors for selecting premium surgery. In women, all personality traits contributed to the selection process. Women were more demanding in the expected postoperative distant acuity than men (0.1 vs 0.2 logMAR) to present high satisfaction. For both men and women, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion are primary contributors for optimal satisfaction rates.
Conclusions: Men and women demonstrate differences in the selection process for premium pseudophakic surgery and differences in the expected postoperative visual acuity. It seems that the personality of the patient plays a significant role in the perceived outcome after premium surgery.

Background: It is essential that both drug and lifestyle-based interventions aimed at delaying the functional decline in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) capture change in functioning that incorporates the person's voice. Such brain health priorities can vary across populations and it is unclear to what degree findings from the ePSOM program in the UK might apply to the US.
Methods: We conducted an online nationwide study to understand what matters to people aged 50 and older about their brain health in the US.

Women account for almost two-thirds of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases, yet evidence significantly less clinical benefit from recently deployed amyloid-lowering therapies. To close this disparity gap, there is an urgent need to identify biological drivers of sex differences in the manifestation and clinical response to AD therapeutics. A recent review of multi-omic studies of AD reported >75% of studies showed female-specific changes at the molecular level (vs.

The most recent Alzheimer's clinical trials, including those which reported successful outcomes, use neuroimaging biomarkers of both amyloid and tau for screening participants and demonstrating a treatment effect on pathology. Some of these trials, notably Lecanemab, hint at a potential sex bias in treatment outcome, alluding to major implications for clinical practice when recommending treatment options. Sex differences in treatment response are not surprising given that women are at greater risk of progression to AD dementia, particularly if they carry APOEe4.

Background: LatAm-FINGERS - the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial in Latin America - is a valuable opportunity to study lifestyle in a heterogeneous and multiethnic population exposed to a large number of cardiovascular risk factors. Our aims are to study the risk distribution in the LatAm-FINGERS cohort and to explore the relationship between LIfestyle for BRAin Health (LIBRA) and cognition.
Method: We calculated the risk of dementia using the LIBRA score in the entire cohort (n = 1200).

Background: The goal of this study is to examine how gender of research participants affects informants assessments of cognitive functioning in older adults. Informant assessments are important tools when clinicians diagnose cognitive decline and dementia and have been used to characterize highly impaired adults in population studies. Contextual and social factors for men and women in different countries may make informants more or less likely to report changes in functioning and cognitive declines at different levels of cognitive impairment.
