Verbal intelligence is a more robust cross-sectional measure of cognitive reserve than level of education in healthy older adults

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Cognitive reserve is most commonly measured using socio-behavioural proxy variables. These variables are easy to collect, have a straightforward interpretation, and are widely associated with reduced risk of dementia and cognitive decline in ...

Plasma lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations associated with musculoskeletal health and incident frailty in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Introduction: Lutein and zeaxanthin are diet-derived carotenoids that are proposed to help mitigate frailty risk and age-related declines in musculoskeletal health via their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Trail Making Test performance contributes to subjective judgment of visual efficiency in older adults [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Introduction. The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests

Is Baseline Orthostatic Hypotension Associated With a Decline in Global Cognitive Performance at 4‐Year Follow‐Up? Data From TILDA (The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing)

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background It is postulated that orthostatic hypotension (OH), a reduction in blood pressure (≥20/10 mm Hg) within 3 minutes of standing, may increase cognitive decline because of cerebral hypoperfusion.

Association of hypertension and insulin resistance in individuals free of diabetes in the ELSA-Brasil cohort

Scientific Reports, 2023
Insulin resistance (IR) is defined as the subnormal response to insulin action on its target tissues. Studies suggest that IR may increase the risk of hypertension, but the results are inconsistent and it is not known whether such an effect is ...

Mental health and health behaviours before and during the initial phase of the COVID-19 lockdown: longitudinal analyses of the UK Household Longitudinal Study

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2020
Background There are concerns that COVID-19 mitigation measures, including the ‘lockdown’, may have unintended health consequences. We examined trends in mental health and health behaviours in the UK before and during the initial phase of the COVID-19 ...
