Aging Is Associated With Multidirectional Changes in Social Cognition: Findings From an Adult Life-Span Sample Ranging From 18 to 101 Years

Sarah A. Grainger, John D. Crawford, Julia C. Riches, Nicole A. Kochan, Russell J. Chander, Karen A. Mather, Perminder S. Sachdev, Julie D. Henry

Summary: This study provides the first assessment of all 4 social cognitive domains in an adult life-span sample and found that normal adult aging is associated with multidirectional changes in social cognition. Theory of mind and social perception show nonlinear decline across much of the life-span, while affective empathy and social behavior improve. Age remains a significant predictor of all 4 social cognitive domains, even after accounting for broader cognitive function.

Cognitive and physical declines and falls in older people with and without mild cognitive impairment: a 7-year longitudinal study

Thanwarat Chantanachai, Daina L. Sturnieks, Stephen R. Lord, Jasmine Menant, Kim Delbaere, Perminder S. Sachdev, Henry Brodaty, Peter Humburg, Morag E. Taylor

Summary: This study examined longitudinal changes in cognitive and physical function, as well as the associations between these changes and falls in people with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results showed that the MCI and cognitively fluctuating groups experienced declines in cognitive function, while the cognitively normal group did not. The MCI group had worse physical function at baseline but similar decline over time compared to other groups. Decline in global cognitive function and sensorimotor performance were associated with multiple falls in the cognitively normal group, and decline in mobility was associated with falls in the entire sample. Therefore, exercise should be recommended for maintaining physical function in older adults, and interventions aimed at mitigating cognitive decline should be encouraged for people with MCI.

Prospective Memory Function Predicts Future Cognitive Decline and Incident Dementia

Catherine A. Browning, Claire L. Thompson, Nicole A. Kochan, Henry Brodaty, Perminder S. Sachdev, Julie D. Henry

Summary: This study examined whether prospective memory (PM) could serve as an early cognitive marker of future cognitive decline and incident dementia. The results showed that decreased PM accuracy and missed PM responses were associated with cognitive decline over 8 years and risk of incident dementia over 4 years. The effects remained significant even after controlling for baseline cognition and were strongest for event-based and regular PM tasks. These findings suggest that PM tasks could be useful in clinical assessments.

Cherbuin, Moyra Mortby, Henry Brodaty, Julian Trollor, Nicole Kochan, Ki Woong Kim

Summary: This study aims to investigate the association between parental history of dementia and the risk of dementia in offspring, and found that maternal history of dementia is associated with increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), while paternal history of dementia is not. These findings may have important implications for identifying high-risk individuals for AD and stratifying the risk in clinical trials.

Enhancing Precision of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-Modified (TICS-M) Using the Rasch Model

Quoc C. C. Truong, Carol Choo, Katya Numbers, Adam Bentvelzen, Alexander G. G. Merkin, Henry Brodaty, Nicole A. A. Kochan, Valery L. L. Feigin, Perminder S. S. Sachdev, Oleg N. N. Medvedev

Summary: The study evaluated the psychometric properties of the TICS-M and used the Rasch methodology to improve its accuracy. The results showed good reliability of the TICS-M assessment scores, but there were some misfitting items and local dependency issues. By combining these problematic items into super-items, the Rasch model fit for the TICS-M improved, resulting in improved reliability and no misfitting or local dependency. The creation of a transformation table allows for converting raw TICS-M scores into interval-level data, increasing the precision of the instrument.

Genetically Predicted Blood Pressure and Cognition in Midlife: A UK Biobank Study

Matthew J. Lennon, Anbupalam Thalamuthu, Ben Chun Pan Lam, John D. Crawford, Perminder S. Sachdev

Summary: This UK Biobank study found that genetic propensity for high and low blood pressure impacts midlife cognition in subtle ways, affecting cognitive domains differently. While a genetic propensity to low blood pressure may preserve nontimed tests in midlife, it may come at a trade-off with worsened attention scores and reaction time.

Evaluation of Dimercaptosuccinic Acid-Coated Iron Nanoparticles Immunotargeted to Amyloid Beta as MRI Contrast Agents for the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease

Marina Ulanova, Lucy Gloag, Andre Bongers, Chul-Kyu Kim, Hong Thien Kim Duong, Ha Na Kim, John Justin Gooding, Richard D. Tilley, Joanna Biazik, Wei Wen, Perminder S. Sachdev, Nady Braidy, Alexander E. Kalyuzhny

Summary: Nanoparticle-based magnetic contrast agents have been developed for early non-invasive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study developed a biocompatible magnetic nanoparticle targeted to amyloid beta (A beta) plaques to enhance the sensitivity of T2-weighted MRI for imaging of amyloid pathology in AD. The nanoparticles showed no significant cytotoxicity and were able to bind to amyloid species. The study provides promising preliminary results for the development of a targeted non-invasive method for early AD diagnosis using contrast-enhanced MRI.
