Evidence-based dementia risk assessment is required to inform individual and policy-level dementia risk reduction interventions. We developed the CogDrisk Short Form (CogDrisk-SF) to assess dementia risk factors, for situations where time and resources are limited. To evaluate concurrent validity with the original CogDrisk, we conducted an online survey using a repeated-measures, counterbalanced design. Community dwelling participants (n = 647, 50.1% were female, mean age 62.2 years, age range 40-89) completed the survey. The mean(sd) score for CogDrisk-SF and the CogDrisk was 9.7 (5.3) and 9.9 (5.5), respectively. The intraclass correlation between the risk score obtained from CogDrisk and CogDrisk-SF was 0.92. Fish intake, insomnia and depression had percentage agreements of 79%, 87% and 89% respectively. Other items had >95% agreement except for loneliness (94%), hypertension (94%), cholesterol (93%), atrial fibrillation (91%) and cognitive activity (90%). Very high agreement between the CogDrisk-SF and original CogDrisk shows that CogDrisk-SF is valid for use in research and clinical practice.

Associations of Traumatic Brain Injury and Mild Behavioral Impairment With Cognitive Function and Dementia.

J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol

Objective: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) may contribute additional complexity to the clinical picture of mild behavioral impairment (MBI). MBI, a behavioral analog to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is comprised of five neuropsychiatric domains: decreased motivation, affective dysregulation, impulse dyscontrol, social inappropriateness, and abnormal perception/thought content. We investigated (1) if cross-sectional associations of cognitive status with MBI symptoms differ by TBI status and (2) if prospective associations of MBI domain positivity with incident dementia risk differ by TBI status.

To study the risk of incident dementia after a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in a diverse US population, and evaluate if this risk is different for the subtypes of intracranial hemorrhage. We performed a retrospective cohort study using both inpatient and outpatient claims data on Medicare beneficiaries between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2018. The exposure was a new diagnosis of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, defined as a composite of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and subdural hemorrhage (SDH).

Objective: This study aims to assess the relationship between modifiable dementia risk factors and both dementia and cognitive decline.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) [2008-2020], the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) [2011-2020], and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) [2010-2020]. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariable logistic regression was utilized to analyze the relationship between modifiable dementia risk factors and dementia, while multivariable linear regression was employed to examine the relationship between these risk factors and cognitive decline.
