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.

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.

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.

HealthPartners Institute, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Background: Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are cornerstones in the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and are also prescribed for vascular dementia (VD). Despite their widespread use, patterns of prescribing ChEIs are not fully understood.
Objective: Examine the prevalence, timing, and types of ChEI prescriptions before and after dementia diagnosis including prescribing patterns by patient sex and race.

December 2024
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom.
Background: In the context of heightened attention to dementia, research gaps persist in the seamless integration of clinical and non-clinical care, including long-term support. This study aims to examine potential gaps in social support for US adults with cognitive impairment, focusing on the transition before and after a dementia diagnosis.
Methods: In this ambidirectional cohort study, we examined data from the Health and Retirement Survey(HRS) for US adults over 50, using data from 2000 to 2018.
