Alcohol, Aging, and Cognitive Performance
This study investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and cognitive performance in two culturally diverse community-based populations. METHODS. A cross-sectional analysis was used including Japanese Americans (n = 1,836) and Caucasians (n = 2,581) aged 65 and older. Cognitive performance was measured using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) (0 to 100 point scale) and reaction time. RESULTS. Multivariate analysis re…
The Role of Neuroticism in the Association Between Performance-Based and Self-Reported Measures of Mobility
Given a certain level of physical performance, individuals who scored high on neuroticism were more likely to report disability. Also, the combination of poor performance and high neuroticism increased self-reported disability. The findings suggest that neuroticism may play an important role in subjective perception and should be considered in the interpretation of data based on self-reports
Dietary soy isoflavone intake in older Japanese American women
Objective: In a sample of older Japanese American women, we aimed to: (1) describe the most commonly consumed soy foods, (2) estimate dietary soy isoflavone intake, (3) describe characteristics associated with dietary soy isoflavone intake, and (4) compare our estimates with previously published estimates in other Japanese samples. Design: A 14-item soy food-frequency questionnaire was administered to older Japanese American women and responses w…
Cognitive Decline and Japanese Culture in a Cohort of Older Japanese Americans in King County, WA
These results show that a Japanese lifestyle may decrease the risk of expressing cognitive decline over a 2-year follow-up period. Lower cardiovascular disease rates among Japanese may also predispose them to lower rates of cognitive decline. The greater social support characteristic of Japanese culture as well as the role that Japanese language and culture may play in neural connectivity during brain development and/or in mental stimulation in a…
