TL;DR: Lower plasma β-amyloid 42/40 is associated with greater cognitive decline among elderly persons without dementia over 9 years, and this association is stronger among those with low measures of cognitive reserve.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolic syndrome and development of cognitive impairment among older women.
TL;DR: An association between the metabolic syndrome and the number of components and risk of developing cognitive impairment in older women is found and additional studies are needed to determine if screening and close management of at-risk elderly women would diminish the incidence of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
TL;DR: Patients with mild cognitive impairment are frequently taking PIMs that may negatively affect cognition, and future research is needed to assess whether cognitive impairment symptoms are improved if PIM use is reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional deficits among patients with mild cognitive impairment
TL;DR: This work investigated the level and type of functional impairment among patients with MCI and found no significant functional decline.
