Associations Between Midlife Vascular Risk Factors and 25-Year Incident Dementia in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Cohort
Rebecca F. Gottesman,Marilyn S. Albert,Alvaro Alonso,Laura H. Coker,Josef Coresh,Sonia M. Davis,Jennifer A. Deal,Guy M. McKhann,Thomas H. Mosley,A. Richey Sharrett,Andrea L.C. Schneider,B. Gwen Windham,Lisa M. Wruck,David S. Knopman +13 more
TL;DR: Midlife vascular risk factors are associated with increased risk of dementia in black and white ARIC Study participants and further studies are needed to evaluate the mechanism of and opportunities for prevention of the cognitive sequelae of these risk factors in midlife.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hearing Impairment and Incident Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: The Health ABC Study
Jennifer A. Deal,Josh Betz,Kristine Yaffe,Tamara B. Harris,Elizabeth Purchase-Helzner,Suzanne Satterfield,Sheila R. Pratt,Nandini Govil,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Frank R. Lin +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the association of age-related peripheral hearing impairment (HI) with incident dementia and with domain-specific cognitive decline in memory, perceptual speed, and processing speed was quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hearing Impairment and Cognitive Decline: A Pilot Study Conducted Within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study
Jennifer A. Deal,A. Richey Sharrett,Marilyn S. Albert,Josef Coresh,Thomas H. Mosley,David Knopman,Lisa M. Wruck,Frank R. Lin +7 more
TL;DR: Findings add to the limited literature on cognitive impairments associated with HI, and support future research on whether HI treatment may reduce risk of cognitive decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in Health Care Costs and Utilization Associated With Untreated Hearing Loss Over 10 Years
Nicholas S. Reed,Aylin Altan,Jennifer A. Deal,Charlotte S. Yeh,Alexander D. Kravetz,Margaret I. Wallhagen,Frank R. Lin +6 more
TL;DR: Older adults with untreated hearing loss experience higher health care costs and utilization patterns compared with adults without hearing loss and additional research on mediators, such as treatment adherence, and mitigation strategies is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Hearing Impairment With Incident Frailty and Falls in Older Adults.
Rebecca J. Kamil,Joshua Betz,Becky Brott Powers,Sheila Pratt,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Hilsa N. Ayonayon,T.B. Harris,Elizabeth Helzner,Jennifer A. Deal,Kathryn R. Martin,Matthew J. Peterson,Suzanne Satterfield,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Frank R. Lin +13 more
TL;DR: Older adults with moderate-or-greater HI had a 63% increased risk of developing frailty and falls, and HI is independently associated with the risk of frailty in older adults and with greater odds of falling over time.
