TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether higher circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and a1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) are associated with worse cognitive function and decline in old age.

TL;DR: Higher levels of uric acid are associated with a decreased risk of dementia and better cognitive function later in life, notwithstanding the associated increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: To determine the prospective relationship between blood pressure and cognitive function across a wide age range, a large number of adults over the age of 40 are surveyed for answers to the question of whether high blood pressure affects cognitive function.

TL;DR: Elevated fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance are not associated with worse cognitive function in older people without a history of diabetes, and these data suggest either that there is a threshold for effects of dysglycemia on cognitive function or that factors other than hyper glycemia contribute to cognitive impairment in individuals with frank diabetes.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of health selection on the estimate of cognitive function was investigated, and the authors found that the estimation can be grossly influenced by a selective loss to follow-up.
