Journal ArticleDOI

Observed Hearing Loss and Incident Dementia in a Multiethnic Cohort.

TL;DR: To determine whether observed hearing loss (OHL) is associated with incident dementia in a multiethnic population, a large number of patients with confirmed or suspected hearing loss are screened for dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved diabetes control in the elderly delays global cognitive decline.

TL;DR: Improved diabetes control in the elderly following existing guidelines through a telemedicine intervention was associated with less global cognitive decline, and the main mediator of this effect seemed to be improvements in HbA1c.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic syndrome and dementia risk in a multiethnic elderly cohort

TL;DR: The MeSy was not associated with an increased dementia risk in a multiethnic elderly cohort, but diabetes andhyperinsulinemia were, and in the elderly, examining diabetes and hyperinsulininemia separately may be preferable to using the MeSy as a risk factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma lipid levels in the elderly are not associated with the risk of mild cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: Low levels of total cholesterol and LDL were associated with a decreased risk of total MCI in models adjusting for age and sex, but these associations were attenuated after adjusting for ethnicity, education, APOEΕ4 and vascular risk factors.
