Key Points: This study highlights that AKI is associated with long-term cognitive decline. Soluble TNF receptor 1 concentrations seem to mediate a significant proportion of the risk of long-term cognitive impairment after AKI.
Background: Cognitive dysfunction is a well-known complication of CKD, but it is less known whether cognitive decline occurs in survivors after AKI. We hypothesized that an episode of AKI is associated with poorer cognitive function, mediated, at least in part, by persistent systemic inflammation.
Methods: Assessment, Serial Evaluation and Subsequent Sequelae of AKI enrolled patients surviving 3 months after hospitalization with and without AKI matched on the basis of demographics, comorbidities, and baseline kidney function. A subset underwent cognitive testing using the modified mini-mental status examination (3MS) at 3, 12, and 36 months. We examined the association of AKI with 3MS scores using mixed linear models and assessed the proportion of risk mediated by systemic inflammatory biomarkers.
Results: Among 1538 participants in Assessment, Serial Evaluation and Subsequent Sequelae of AKI, 1420 (92%) completed the 3MS assessment at 3 months and had a corresponding matched participant. Participants with AKI had lower 3MS scores at 3 years (difference −1.1 [95% confidence interval, −2.0 to −0.3] 0.009) compared with participants without AKI. A higher proportion of participants with AKI had a clinically meaningful (≥5 point) reduction in 3MS scores at 3 years compared with participants without AKI (14% versus 10%, 0.04). In mediation analyses, plasma-soluble TNF receptor-1 at 3 months after AKI mediated 35% ( = 0.02) of the AKI-related risk for 3MS scores at 3 years.
Conclusions: AKI was associated with lower 3MS scores, and Soluble TNF receptor 1 concentrations seemed to mediate a significant proportion of the risk of long-term cognitive impairment. Further work is needed to determine whether AKI is causal or a marker for cognitive impairment.

Background: Women’s reproductive experiences may enact reorganization of physiological systems with lifelong health consequences. We test the hypothesis that women’s history of breastfeeding will be positively associated with neurocognitive benefits in post‐menopausal women. This hypothesis is justified by breastfeeding’s well‐established benefits for mothers’ glucose homeostasis, beta‐cell function, adipose tissue mobilization, and lipid metabolism, which would plausibly be beneficial for later‐life brain health.

Background: Poor sleep health is associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in older adults. The cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) sleep spectrogram, which estimates the sleep state modulated synchronization between heart rate variability and respiration, is an increasingly recognized measure of sleep stability. However, little is known about the longitudinal association between CPC measures of sleep stability and risk of incident CI.

Background: Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome (CKM), a systemic interplay among metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD), has profound impacts on cardiovascular events and mortality, yet its association with dementia risk remains poorly understood. With data from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study, we investigated the association between CKM and dementia risk among older adults.
Method: We studied 2,722 participants (mean age 74 ± 2.
Background: Research on the role of preclinical AD pathology (brain Aβ deposition) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction is limited. We aimed to explore the association between brain Aβ deposition measured via Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) PET imaging and POCD. We hypothesized that brain Aβ deposition would be associated with POCD in older women at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery.

Although the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with an increased risk of poor physical function and frailty in older adults is widely documented, the underlying pathophysiological pathways linking these two entities are not fully understood. Accordingly, we conducted a cross-sectional observational study aiming to investigate the association of T2D and its microvascular complications retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, with gait speed (GS), a common surrogate marker of functional decline, adjusting for age, sex, and cognitive function, in the cohort of older adults of the DIALCAT project (Catalonia, Spain). From the initial 335 participants, 84 were excluded because of missing or incorrect GS assessment.
