Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Baseline Glycemic Control and Cognitive Function in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors: The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes-Memory in Diabetes (ACCORD-MIND) trial
Tali Cukierman-Yaffe,Tali Cukierman-Yaffe,Hertzel C. Gerstein,Jeff D. Williamson,Ronald M. Lazar,Laura C. Lovato,Michael E. Miller,Laura H. Coker,Anne M. Murray,Mark Sullivan,Santica M. Marcovina,Lenore J. Launer +11 more
TL;DR: Higher A1C levels are associated with lower cognitive function in individuals with diabetes, and the effect of glucose lowering on cognitive function will be determined by the ongoing ACCORD-MIND trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Function, Gait Speed Decline, and Comorbidities: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study
Hal H. Atkinson,Caterina Rosano,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Jeff D. Williamson,Cralen Davis,Walter T. Ambrosius,Stephen R. Rapp,Matteo Cesari,Anne B. Newman,Tamara B. Harris,Susan M. Rubin,Kristine Yaffe,Suzanne Satterfield,Stephen B. Kritchevsky +13 more
TL;DR: The association of ECF with gait speed decline is attenuated by comorbid conditions, particularly depression, and may point to new pathways for the treatment of physical decline associated with diminished cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health outcomes associated with calcium antagonists compared with other first-line antihypertensive therapies: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Marco Pahor,Bruce M. Psaty,Michael H. Alderman,William B. Applegate,Jeff D. Williamson,Chiara Cavazzini,Curt D. Furberg +6 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of trials in hypertension suggests that calcium antagonists are inferior to other types of antihypertensive drugs as first-line agents in reducing the risks of several major complications of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
High body fatness, but not low fat-free mass, predicts disability in older men and women: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
M. Visser,Jean A. Langlois,Jack M. Guralnik,Jane A. Cauley,Richard A. Kronmal,John A Robbins,Jeff D. Williamson,Tamara B. Harris +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed that high bodyfatness is an independent predictor of mobility-related disability in older men and women, and high body fatness in old age should be avoided to decrease the risk of disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Aspirin on Disability-free Survival in the Healthy Elderly
John J McNeil,Robyn L. Woods,Mark Nelson,Christopher M. Reid,Brenda Kirpach,Rory Wolfe,Elsdon Storey,Raj C. Shah,Jessica E. Lockery,Andrew Tonkin,Anne B. Newman,Jeff D. Williamson,Karen L. Margolis,Michael E. Ernst,Walter P. Abhayaratna,Nigel Stocks,Sharyn M. Fitzgerald,Suzanne G Orchard,Ruth E Trevaks,Lawrence J. Beilin,Geoffrey A. Donnan,Peter Gibbs,Colin I. Johnston,Joanne Ryan,Barbara Radziszewska,Richard H. Grimm,Anne M. Murray +26 more
TL;DR: Aspirin use in healthy elderly persons did not prolong disability‐free survival over a period of 5 years but led to a higher rate of major hemorrhage than placebo.
