Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal Change in Performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment in Older Adults

TL;DR: The results suggest that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment may be susceptible to practice effects, particularly between the first and second administrations, and should be taken into consideration when repeatedly employing the MoCA to screen for cognitive status in healthy older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain structure and cognitive correlates of body mass index in healthy older adults.

TL;DR: Examination of white matter tract integrity and cognitive performance associated with BMI in 62 healthy older adults revealed that elevated BMI was associated with lower fractional anisotropy in the uncinate fasciculus, though there was no evidence of an age by BMI interaction relating to FA in this tract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional age differences in gray matter diffusivity among healthy older adults

TL;DR: It is suggested that aging has a significant and differential impact on GM/WM diffusion in healthy older adults, which may explain a modest degree of cognitive variability at specific time points during older adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Central Nervous System Penetration Effectiveness of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy on Neuropsychological Performance and Neuroimaging in HIV Infected Individuals.

TL;DR: Long-term HAART regimens with a high degree of CPE were not associated with significantly improved neuropsychological or neuroimaging outcomes in HIV+ adults, and results suggest that alternate mechanisms may potentially contribute to better neurological outcomes in the era of HAART.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive Performance and Frailty in Older HIV-Positive Adults.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of sex distribution and mental health in explanatory models of frailty in HIV, and interventions targeting symptoms of depression may increase resilience in older HIV+ individuals.
