Family History of Dementia Tied to Early Memory Deficits
Reduced paired-associates learning performance observed long before typical onset of Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer Disease and Dementia
Cognitive Decline Associated With Successive Amyloid-Beta and Tau Changes
Older adults with an increase in amyloid-β plaques followed by increased tau neurofibrillary tangles have shown lower cognition after 7 years.
Higher LDL-C Levels Linked to Early-Onset Alzheimer Disease
Cases with EOAD have higher levels of LDL-C, greater frequency of rare genetic coding variants of APOB.
Varying Amyloid-β Levels Affect Attitudes Toward Physician-Assisted Death
Attitudes about physician-assisted death vary among patients with Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer Disease Trials Discontinued Following Disappointing Results With Aducanumab
Alzheimer disease and dementia trials discontinued following disappointing results.
Hormone Replacement Therapy May Increase Risk for Alzheimer Disease
Long-term use of systemic hormone replacement therapy may slightly increase the risk of developing Alzheimer disease.
An Overview of Progress and Future Challenges in Aging and Diversity Research
Researchers identified current gaps in aging and diversity research and identified future directions that research should take.
Young Fresh Frozen Plasma Infusion Safe, Feasible in Alzheimer Disease
Researchers examined the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of young plasma infusion in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease dementia in an Alzheimer’s symptom amelioration study.
Migraine History Linked to Increase in All-Cause Dementia Risk
Investigators confirmed an association between headache disorders and increased risk for dementia in this pooled meta-analysis; however, the number of studies was small and the population characteristics and study designs were quite heterogenous.
Physical Frailty Associated With Symptoms of Dementia, Caregiver Burden in Alzheimer Disease
Per study data published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, investigators hypothesized that the correlation between higher Frailty Index scores and increased caregiver burden was partially mediated by increased behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.
