  1. 1. The effect of somatic disorders on brain aging and dementia : findings from population studies

    Författare :Anna Rita Atti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Dementia; Alzheimer s Disease; CIND; Perceived cognitive decline; Anemia; Hemoglobin concentration; BMI; Weight Loss; Multimorbidity; Comorbidity; Risk factors;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis investigates the effect of somatic disorders on dementia, Alzheimer s disease (AD) and brain aging in late-life. The data for the studies are provided by the Kungsholmen Project (Studies I and II) and the Faenza Project (Studies III and IV). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Health outcomes associated with cognitive impairment

    Författare :Kaavya Narasimhalu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we aimed to determine whether persons with cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) were at higher risk for negative health outcomes, and if so, to stratify persons with CIND into high and low risk groups. We also aimed to determine the whether persons with CIND had a higher risk of negative health outcomes based on their underlying familial risk, or whether difficulties with medication played a part in the development of negative health outcomes.

  4. 3. Cognitive impairment in the nondemented elderly : occurrence, risk factors, progression

    Författare :Barbara Caracciolo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Attrition;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis investigated different issues related to cognitive impairment (CI) in the nondemented elderly, including occurrence of CI, risk factors leading to CI development, and progression of CI to dementia. Data were derived from the Kungsholmen Project, a community-based study of 75+ years old (Studies II and IV), and from the HARMONY Study (Studies I and III), a nation-wide, population-based study of twins in Sweden.

  5. 4. Cardiovascular health, orthostatic hypotension, and cognitive aging

    Författare :Xin Xia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular health (CVH) plays an important role in dementia development. Ideal CVH, defined by Life’s Simple 7 (LS7), has been associated with a lower risk of dementia in older adults. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) may be a novel cardiovascular risk factor that can affect dementia development. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cardiovascular health and brain aging : a population-based MRI study

    Författare :Yuanjing Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Deterioration of brain structure and cognitive function occurs as individuals reach advanced age. The former can be observed through various markers of cerebral small vessel disease on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and the later can be assessed by neuropsychological tests and clinical examinations.
