TL;DR: Serum markers of inflammation, especially IL-6 and CRP, are prospectively associated with cognitive decline in well-functioning elders, and these findings support the hypothesis that inflammation contributes to Cognitive decline in the elderly.

TL;DR: There was a reduced risk of dying for diabetic patients who were diagnosed between 1966 and 1971 compared with patients diagnosed during earlier years and the annual mortality risk was approximately 2%, which was more than 20 times greater than for the U. S. population.

TL;DR: Estrogen use was associated with less cognitive decline among ε4-negative women but not ε 4-positive women, and potential mechanisms, including carotid atherosclerosis, by which ε3 may interact with estrogen and cognition warrant further investigation.

TL;DR: The measurement of subclinical disease provides an approach for identifying high-risk older individuals who may be candidates for more active intervention to prevent clinical disease.

TL;DR: Although only moderately correlated with BMD, QUS appears to be as strong a predictor of osteoporotic fracture as BMD and may predict fracture independent of BMD.
