Longitudinal Interplay Between Cognitive Impairment and Frailty
Socioeconomic and Contextual Differentials in Memory Decline
Our findings highlight substantial socioeconomic and contextual inequity in memory performance in both England and China, as well as in the rate of memory decline primarily in China. Public health strategies for preventing memory decline should target the socioeconomic gaps at the individual and contextual levels to protect those particularly disadvantaged
Bi-directional associations between religious attendance and mental health
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that religious attendance is associated with positive outcomes for mental health; however, there are few longitudinal studies, and even fewer, which take into account the possibility of bi-directional associations. This study aimed to investigate bi-directional associations between religious attendance and mental health. METHODS: Participants were 2125 study members who provided data at age 68-69 from the Medical Res…
Community engagement and dementia risk
BACKGROUND: There is increasing interest in the potential health benefits of referring older adults to engage in community leisure activities ('social prescribing') to help promote healthy cognitive ageing. However, it remains unclear whether beneficial effects of community engagement are independent of the well-known protective effects of broader structural, functional and subjective social factors. METHODS: We analysed data from 9550 adults age…
The Association Between Informal Caregiving and Exit From Employment Among Older Workers
This study highlights the onset of caregiving as a key period for older workers. Ensuring that caregiving responsibilities are adequately recognized and supported may help extend working life
Educational Inequalities in Health Behaviors at Midlife
Education is a fundamental cause of social inequalities in health because it influences the distribution of resources, including money, knowledge, power, prestige, and beneficial social connections, that can be used in situ to influence health. Recent studies have highlighted early-life cognition as commonly indicating the propensity for educational attainment and determining health and age of mortality. Health behaviors provide a plausible mecha…
OP19 Increased Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet Protects Memory Decline over 20 years in a Longitudinal Study
Background Cognitive decline is the first outward sign of dementia and represents a major public health effect. Evidence suggests that dietary patterns are associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors. A high quality diet such as Mediterranean diet might protect against Alzheimer’s disease, but its association with age-associated cognitive decline has been less explored. Aim The current analyses aim to examine the association b…
PP45a Use it, Don’t Lose it! The Role of Lifestyle Behaviours on 20-year Cognitive Decline
Background Cognitive decline represents a major public health impact on individuals and governments around the world. There is a well-established relationship between specific lifestyle behaviours and cognitive decline, but extremely limited research on the role of combined behaviours. The aim of these analyses was to examine the role of lifestyle behaviours (smoking, physical activity and dietary choice) separately and in combination on 20-year …
PS49 Food For Thought! The Role Of Dietary Choices On Cognitive Behaviour
Background Cognitive decline indicates the first sign of dementia and a major public health impact associated with ageing. Evidence suggests that dietary patterns are associated with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods To examine the association between dietary choices and 20 years cognitive decline from 43 to 60+.; 1018 study members from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development regularly followed up since birth in …
The long and short term effects of alcohol consumption on cognitive decline
Background With an increase in ageing population, cognitive decline represents a major reason of concern. Alcohol has been shown to have a differential impact on cognitive decline according to the level of consumption, but less is known on the longitudinal effects. Objective To examine the influence of alcohol consumption at age 36 and 43 years on cognitive decline between 43 and 53 years. Design Birth cohort study. Setting UK. Participants 735 m…
