Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Blood pressure (BP) management is an accessible therapeutic target for dementia prevention. BP variability (BPV) is a newer aspect of BP control recently associated with cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), independent of traditionally targeted mean BP levels. Most of this work has relied on largely non-Hispanic White study samples in observational cohorts.

Background: Prior research has demonstrated the positive association between social support and cognition. Specifically, greater social support has been linked with improved cognitive performance and reduced risk of dementia. In particular, emotional support has been identified as a key dimension in the relationship between social support and cognition.

University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The 2020 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care estimated that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling 12 potentially modifiable risk factors, namely less education, hearing loss, hypertension, physical inactivity, diabetes, social isolation, excessive alcohol consumption, air pollution, smoking, obesity, traumatic brain injury, depression. As more evidence on risk factors emerges, the Lancet standing commission on dementia met to update evidence on established dementia risk factors and to consider the evidence for other risk factors.
Method: We used a lifecourse approach to understand how to reduce risk or prevent dementia, as many risks operate at different timepoints in the lifespan.

Prevent Alzheimer's Disease 2020, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA.
Background: Disparities in the quality and timeliness of care for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well documented. This study assessed the impact of demographic characteristics on the diagnosis and management of early AD patients in community-based settings.
Method: This cross-sectional study abstracted medical chart data for patients aged 50-89 years who had newly diagnosed early AD (mild cognitive impairment [MCI] or mild AD) within the past 2 years and a clinic visit within the past 12 months.

Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Dublin, Ireland.
Background: Socioeconomic disparities (SED) influence brain health and dementia. Latin America (LA) is characterized by high SED and a disproportionate prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD) compared to high-income populations like the United States (US). However, the impact of SED on brain reserve across neurocognitive pathways related to aging and dementia in LA remains unknown.
