Summary: This review found that poor periodontal health, including periodontitis and tooth loss, is associated with cognitive decline and dementia. Tooth loss, in particular, is found to independently increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. However, the overall evidence quality is low, with associations potentially influenced by reverse causality. Further well-designed studies are needed to establish more robust conclusions.

Summary: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is associated with an increased combined risk of cognitive impairment and incident dementia, with individuals in the 65-75 age group, those with longer education (>15 years), and participants in clinical settings showing a higher risk for developing objective cognitive disorders.

Summary: This study found that the use of BBs, CCBs, and diuretics is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, while long-term use of RASIs may reduce this risk. It also suggests that diuretic users may have a higher risk of breast cancer-specific mortality.

Summary: This systematic review examines the relationship between dietary (poly)phenol consumption and cognitive outcomes. The results suggest that a higher intake of flavonoids is associated with better cognitive function and a lower risk of cognitive decline. The meta-analysis also shows an inverse association between flavonoid intake and cognitive impairment and dementia.

Summary: This study found that older adults with hearing loss and dual sensory loss experience faster rates of cognitive decline compared to those with normal sensory function, while there was no significant association between vision loss and cognitive decline.

Summary: Research suggests that older adults at high nutritional risk are more likely to develop cognitive decline and neurocognitive disorders, including MCI or dementia. Identifying vulnerable subpopulations for correction of malnutrition risk may help prevent neurocognitive disorders.

Summary: This study suggests a potential protective effect of wine consumption against cognitive decline, although further research is needed to differentiate between types of wine.

Summary: Frailty in late life is a promising risk factor for cognitive disorders, especially physical, cognitive, and biopsychosocial frailty are associated with the development of cognitive decline or dementia.

Summary: The study found that variability in an individual's cognitive performance may be associated with subsequent cognitive decline and/or conversion to dementia, including both inconsistency and dispersion operational definitions. Meta-analytic estimates from 13 longitudinal studies suggest that cognitive intra-individual variability is associated with later cognitive decline and/or conversion to dementia.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 35 cohort studies and found that pain, including headache, migraine, tension-type headache, widespread pain, and irritable bowel syndrome, is a risk factor for subsequent cognitive decline or dementia.

Summary: Increased aortic stiffness measured by aortic pulse wave velocity was found to be inversely associated with memory and processing speed, and could be an independent predictor for cognitive impairment risk, especially in older individuals.

Summary: The study reveals that blood pressure variability is an independent predictor for cognitive impairment and dementia, with a linear relationship between long-term blood pressure variability and the risk of cognitive decline.

Summary: The research suggests that low-dose aspirin use may reduce the incidence of dementia in older adults, but has less effect on MCI. Results from RCTs show inconsistent findings, indicating the need for further studies to clarify the impact of aspirin on cognitive function and dementia.

Summary: Epidemiological studies have shown that tooth loss may be associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. However, some results do not show a significant association. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate this association.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of education and occupation in predicting cognitive performance in older adults, with higher levels of education and occupation associated with better resistance to cognitive decline. Cognitive reserve plays a crucial role in predicting performance across different levels of cognitive ability.
