  • Differential distribution of subjective and objective cognitive impairment in the population : a nation-wide twin-study
  • 2012
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 29:2, s. 393-403
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We report the prevalence of subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND), their socio-demographic profile, and the contribution of genetic background and shared familial environment to SCI and CIND. Subjects were 11,926 dementia-free twin individuals aged ≥65 from the Swedish Twin Registry. SCI was defined as subjective complaint of cognitive change without objective cognitive impairment and CIND was defined according to current criteria. Overall prevalence rates of SCI and CIND were 39% (95% CI 38-39%) and 25% (95% CI 24-25%). In multivariate GEE models, both SCI and CIND were older compared with people without any cognitive impairment. CIND were also less educated, more likely to be unmarried and to have lower socioeconomic status (SES). SCI individuals differed from persons with CIND as they were older, more educated, more likely to be married, and to have higher SES. Co-twin control analysis, which corrects for common genetic and shared environmental background, confirmed the association of low education with CIND. Probandwise concordance for SCI and CIND was 63% and 52% in monozygotic twins, 63% and 50% in dizygotic same-sex twins, and 42% and 29% in dizygotic unlike-sex twins. Tetrachoric correlations showed no significant differences between monozygotic and dizygotic same-sex twins. We conclude that subjective and objective cognitive impairment are both highly prevalent among nondemented elderly yet have distinct sociodemographic profiles. Shared environmental influences rather than genetic background play a role in the occurrence of SCI and CIND.

  • Relationship of Subjective Cognitive Impairment and Cognitive Impairment No Dementia to Chronic Disease and Multimorbidity in a Nation-Wide Twin Study
  • 2013
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 36:2, s. 275-284
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We investigated the relation of subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) to common chronic diseases of the elderly and multimorbidity, and assessed the contribution of genetic background and shared familial environment to these associations. Subjects were 11,379 dementia-free twin individuals aged >= 65 from the Swedish Twin Registry. SCI was defined as subjective complaint of cognitive change without objective cognitive impairment and CIND was defined according to current criteria. In unmatched, fully-adjusted regression models, mental, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and urological diseases were all significantly associated with increased odds ratios (ORs) of SCI and CIND. Circulatory and gastrointestinal diseases were related to SCI only, while endocrine diseases were associated with CIND. The adjusted ORs of multimorbidity were 2.1 [95% confidence intervals (95% CI): 1.8-2.3] for SCI and 1.5 for CIND (95% CI: 1.3-1.8). A dose-dependent relationship was observed between number of chronic diseases and ORs for SCI but not for CIND. In co-twin control analyses, the chronic diseases-SCI association was largely unchanged. On the other hand, the chronic diseases-CIND association was no longer statistically significant, except for cancer, where an increased OR was observed. In conclusion, chronic morbidity is associated with both SCI and CIND but disease profiles do not always overlap between the two cognitive syndromes. The association is stronger when diseases co-occur, especially for SCI. Genetic and early-life environmental factors may partially explain the association of CIND but not that of SCI with chronic diseases.

  • Loneliness, Not Social Support, Is Associated with Cognitive Decline and Dementia Across Two Longitudinal Population-Based Cohorts
  • 2022
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - : IOS Press. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 85:1, s. 295-308
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background: Poor social health is likely associated with cognitive decline and risk of dementia; however, studies show inconsistent results. Additionally, few studies separate social health components or control for mental health.Objective: To investigate whether loneliness and social support are independently associated with cognitive decline and risk of dementia, and whether depressive symptoms confound the association.Methods: We included 4,514 participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study (RS; aged 71±7SD years) followed up to 14 years (median 10.8, interquartile range 7.4-11.6), and 2,112 participants from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K; aged 72±10SD years) followed up to 10 years (mean 5.9±1.6SD). At baseline, participants were free of major depression and scored on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) ≥26 for RS and ≥25 for SNAC-K. We investigated loneliness, perceived social support, and structural social support (specifically marital status and number of children). In both cohorts, dementia was diagnosed and cognitive function was repeatedly assessed with MMSE and a global cognitive factor (g-factor).Results: Loneliness was prospectively associated with a decline in the MMSE in both cohorts. Consistently, persons who were lonely had an increased risk of developing dementia (RS: HR 1.34, 95%CI 1.08-1.67; SNAC-K: HR 2.16, 95%CI 1.12-4.17). Adjustment for depressive symptoms and exclusion of the first 5 years of follow-up did not alter results. Neither perceived or structural social support was associated with cognitive decline or dementia risk.Conclusion: Loneliness, not social support, predicted cognitive decline and incident dementia independently of depressive symptoms.

  • Natural Progression Model of Cognition and Physical Functioning among People with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease
  • 2013
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 37:2, s. 357-365
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background: Empirical models of the natural history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may help to evaluate new interventions for AD. Objective: We aimed to estimate AD-free survival time in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and decline of cognitive and physical function in AD cases. Methods: Within the Kungsholmen project, 153 incident MCI and 323 incident AD cases (international criteria) were identified during 9 years of follow-up in a cognitively healthy cohort of elderly people aged >= 75 at baseline (n = 1,082). Global cognitive function was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and daily life function was evaluated with the Katz index of activities of daily living (ADL) at each follow-up examination. Data were analyzed using parametric survival analysis and mixed effect models. Results: Median AD-free survival time of 153 participants with incident MCI was 3.5 years. Among 323 incident AD cases, the cognitive decline was 1.84 MMSE points per year, which was significantly associated with age. Physical functioning declined by 0.38 ADL points per year and was significantly associated with age, education, and MMSE, but not with gender. Conclusion: Elderly people with MCI may develop AD in approximately 3.5 years. Both cognitive and physical function may decline gradually after AD onset. The empirical models can be used to evaluate long-term disease progression of new interventions for AD.

  • The Obesity Related Gene, FTO, Interacts with APOE and is Associated with Alzheimer's Disease Risk : A Prospective Cohort Study
  • 2011
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 23:3, s. 461-469
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The FTO gene has been shown to have a small but robust effect on body mass index (BMI) and to increase the risk for diabetes. Both high BMI and diabetes are vascular risk factors that might play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia. Thus, our aim was to explore the impact of FTO on AD and dementia risk. Nine years of follow-up data was gathered from the Kungsholmen project, a prospective population-based study on 1,003 persons without dementia. Cox-regression models were used to assess the relative risks of developing AD and dementia (DSM-III-R criteria) according to FTO genotypes (rs9939609), taking into account APOE, physical inactivity, BMI, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Compared to carriers of the FTO TT-genotype, AA-carriers had a higher risk for AD (RR 1.58, 95% CI: 1.11-2.24) and for dementia (RR 1.48, 95% CI: 1.09-2.02) after adjustment for age, gender, education, and APOE genotype. This effect remained after additional adjustment for physical inactivity, BMI, diabetes, and CVD. An interaction between FTO and APOE was found, with increased risk for dementia for those carrying both FTO AA and APOE epsilon 4. Importantly, the effect of the AA-genotype on dementia/AD risk seems to act mostly through the interaction with APOE epsilon 4. Our findings suggest that the FTO AA-genotype increases the risk for dementia, and in particular AD, independently of physical inactivity, BMI, diabetes, and CVD measured at baseline. Our results are in line with the recently reported association between FTO and reduced brain volume in cognitively healthy subjects.

  • Early Cognitive Deficits in Type 2 Diabetes : A Population-Based Study
  • 2016
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 53:3, s. 1069-1078
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Evidence links type 2 diabetes to dementia risk. However, our knowledge on the initial cognitive deficits in diabetic individuals and the factors that might promote such deficits is still limited. This study aimed to identify the cognitive domains initially impaired by diabetes and the factors that play a role in this first stage. Within the population-based Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen, 2305 cognitively intact participants aged >= 60 y were identified. Attention/working memory, perceptual speed, category fluency, letter fluency, semantic memory, and episodic memory were assessed. Diabetes (controlled and uncontrolled) and prediabetes were ascertained by clinicians, who also collected information on vascular disorders (hypertension, heart diseases, and stroke) and vascular risk factors (VRFs, including smoking and overweight/obesity). Data were analyzed with linear regression models. Overall, 196 participants (8.5%) had diabetes, of which 144 (73.5%) had elevated glycaemia (uncontrolled diabetes); 571 (24.8%) persons had prediabetes. In addition, diabetes, mainly uncontrolled, was related to lower performance in perceptual speed (beta -1.10 [95% CI -1.98, -0.23]), category fluency (beta -1.27 [95% CI -2.52, -0.03]), and digit span forward (beta -0.35 [95% CI -0.54, -0.17]). Critically, these associations were present only among APOE epsilon 4 non-carriers. The associations of diabetes with perceptual speed and category fluency were present only among participants with VRFs or vascular disorders. Diabetes, especially uncontrolled diabetes, is associated with poorer performance in perceptual speed, category fluency, and attention/primary memory. VRFs, vascular disorders, and APOE status play a role in these associations.

  • An active lifestyle postpones dementia onset by more than one year in very old adults
  • 2012
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 52, s. 216-216
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an active lifestyle delays age at dementia onset. This study included 388 incident dementia cases (DSM-III-R criteria) that developed over a 9-year follow-up period among 1,375 baseline dementia-free community dwellers with good cognitive function (MMSE > 23) (mean age = 81.2) from the Kungsholmen Project. An active lifestyle was defined as participation in mental, physical, or social activity. We used linear regression models to estimate influence of baseline active lifestyle on age at onset of incident dementia and general linear models to estimate mean age at dementia onset. Age at onset of dementia was significantly older in persons who had higher levels of participation in mental, physical, or social activity (beta: 0.18, 0.29 and 0.23 respectively, p < 0.001 for all the activities) independent of education, medical condition, functional status, and other confounders including APOE. When the three types of activities were integrated into an index, we found that the broader the spectrum of participation in the activities, the later the onset of disease (beta = 0.93, p = 0.01 for participating in two activities, and beta = 1.42, p < 0.001 for three activities). There were 17 months difference in mean age at dementia onset between the inactive group and the most active group. An active lifestyle operates as a protective factor for dementia by delaying the clinical onset of the disease. These findings highlight the relevance of encouraging old adults to have active lifestyles, which could have a great impact on public health.

  • Working Life Psychosocial Conditions in Relation to Late-Life Cognitive Decline : A Population-Based Cohort Study
  • 2019
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 67:1, s. 315-325
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • While the importance of working conditions on cognitive function has been tentatively suggested previously, few studies have considered cumulative effects of exposure throughout the working life. We examined the association between job demand-control status and late-life cognitive decline, taking into account exposure durations. In the population-based cohort study, Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen, 2,873 dementia-free participants aged 60+ were followed up to nine years. Cognitive function was measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination. The entire working life was outlined through interview and occupations were graded with a psychosocial job-exposure matrix. Multivariate linear mixed-effects models were used. Slower cognitive decline was observed among people with high job control (beta: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.19) and demands (beta: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.22) in the longest-held job. Compared to active job, faster decline was shown in low strain (beta: -0.17, 95% CI: -0.26, -0.08), high strain (beta: -0.13, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.03), and passive job (beta: -0.22, 95% CI: -0.34, -0.11). Longer duration of active jobs was associated with slower cognitive decline (beta: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.32), whereas faster decline was associated with longer durations of low strain (beta: -0.12, 95% CI: -0.19, -0.05), high strain (beta: -0.13, 95% CI: -0.21, -0.04), and passive jobs (beta: -0.12, 95% CI: -0.20, -0.04). In conclusion, not only psychologically stressful jobs, but also low-stimulating and passive jobs are associated with faster cognitive decline in later life. Duration of exposure may play a role in the psychosocial working condition-cognitive decline association.

  • Influence of Incipient Dementia on Hospitalization for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions : A Population-Based Cohort Study
  • 2016
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. - 1387-2877 .- 1875-8908. ; 52:1, s. 213-222
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background: Studies have reported that moderate/severe stages of dementia are linked to increased hospitalization rates, but little is known about the influence of incipient dementia on hospitalizations for primary care sensitive conditions (PCSCs). Objective: To examine the associations between incipient dementia and hospitalization outcomes, including all-cause and PCSC hospitalization. Methods: A total of 2,268 dementia-free participants in the Swedish National study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen were interviewed and clinically examined at baseline. Participants aged >= 78 years were followed for 3 years, and those aged 60-72 years, for 6 years. Number of hospitalizations was retrieved from the National Patient Register. Dementia was diagnosed in accordance with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV criteria. Hospitalization outcomes were compared in participants who did and did not develop dementia. Zero-inflated Poisson regressions and logistic regressions were used in data analysis. Results: During the follow-up, 175 participants developed dementia. The unadjusted PCSC admission rate was 88.2 per 1000 person-years in those who developed dementia and 25.6 per 1000 person-years in those who did not. In the fully adjusted logistic regression model, incipient dementia was associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for PCSCs (OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.3-3.9) but not with the number of hospitalizations or with all-cause hospitalization. Risks for hospitalization for diabetes, congestive heart failure, and pyelonephritis were higher in those who developed dementia than in those who did not. About 10% participants had a PCSC hospitalization attributable to incipient dementia. Conclusion: People with incipient dementia are more prone to hospitalization for PCSCs but not to all-cause hospitalization.
