Summary: The study found that subjective cognitive decline may be an early marker of cerebrovascular disease in cognitively healthy individuals, especially in relation to white matter signal abnormalities. Further research is needed to clarify the role of SCD as a preclinical marker of vascular cognitive impairment.

Summary: Adherence to a healthy dietary pattern may reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, but the results are inconsistent, likely due to heterogeneity among studies. Standardization of diet exposure and cognitive outcome measurement is needed, and further research should investigate the effects of culturally appropriate dietary patterns on individual cognitive domains and incident cognitive disorders in diverse and high-risk populations.

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: Some ECG markers are associated with incident dementia and cognitive decline, but inconsistent findings from heterogeneous studies warrant further research for firm conclusions.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to examine the effect of socio-behavioral cognitive reserve proxies on cognitive decline after stroke. The findings showed that high education is associated with a decreased rate of post-stroke dementia, and other CR proxies demonstrate a protective effect against non-dementia cognitive decline after stroke. The results suggest that CR may prevent cognitive decline after stroke, but this effect can be influenced by different factors such as the CR proxy and individual characteristics.

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: Cognitive symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly disabling non-motor features of the disease. The concept of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) has gained interest for earlier detection of cognitive decline in PD.

Summary: In recent years, there has been rapid progress in dementia prevention research, particularly in lifestyle interventions. However, only a small number of large-scale trials have shown clear beneficial effects. Future research should consider more targeted approaches and adaptive trials.

Summary: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of treating dementia and cognitive decline with methylfolate supplementation in older adults. The main outcomes analyzed will be dementia and changes in cognitive function. Secondary outcomes, such as inflammatory markers and folic acid levels, will also be assessed.

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: Exercise has positive effects on cognitive decline and dementia risk, but its neuronal effects in individuals with cognitive decline have not been thoroughly investigated. This systematic review found that exercise can improve global cognition and executive function, and is associated with neuronal adaptations in the brain. Further high-quality trials are needed to understand the functional relationship between exercise and brain health in populations at high risk of dementia.

Summary: The study found that different CVD risk models are associated with dementia and cognitive decline, but the correlation depends on cohort characteristics, risk models, cognitive function tests, and study designs. Further research is needed to compare the effectiveness of different CVD risk models in predicting cognitive disorders.

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.

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.
