Age-related cognitive decline and associations with sex, education and apolipoprotein E genotype across ethnocultural groups and geographic regions: a collaborative cohort study
(2017)Background: The prevalence of dementia varies around the world, potentially contributed to by international differences in rates of age-related cognitive decline. Our primary goal was to investigate how rates of age-related ... -
Aiming at Tobacco Harm Reduction: A survey comparing smokers differing in readiness to quit
(2006)Background: Greece has the highest smoking rates (in the 15-nation bloc) in Europe. The purpose of this study was to investigate Greek smokers' intention and appraisal of capability to quit employing the theoretical ... -
Alzheimer’s disease in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2020)Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a disorder with high prevalence among adults and is an independent risk factor for various diseases, especially those affecting the central nervous system (CNS). ... -
Antihypertensive Medication Class and the Risk of Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of the Prospective HELIAD Cohort
(2022)Background: It is unclear whether the main antihypertensive medication classes (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) are ... -
Antipsychotic polypharmacy reduction versus polypharmacy continuation for people with schizophrenia
(2022)Background: In clinical practice, different antipsychotics can be combined in the treatment of people with schizophrenia (polypharmacy). This strategy can aim at increasing efficacy, but might also increase the adverse ... -
Apolipoprotein E4 and meningeal lymphatics in Alzheimer disease: a conceptual framework
(2021)The potential existence and roles of the meningeal lymphatic system in normal and pathological brain function have been a long-standing enigma. Recent evidence suggests that meningeal lymphatic vessels are present in both ... -
Assessing functional status using the IADL-extended scale: Results from the HELIAD study
(2020)Objectives: Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) have been operationalized as exhibiting a greater level of complexity than basic ADL. In the same way, incorporating more advanced ADLs may increase the sensitivity ... -
Association between Motor Signs and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Unimpaired Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the NACC Database
(2022)Aiming to examine whether specific motor signs are associated with worse performance in specific cognitive domains among cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the ... -
Association between white matter lesions and Parkinson’s disease: an impact on Postural/Gait difficulty phenotype and cognitive performance
(2022)Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) may be observed on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with Parkinson disease with or without vascular risk factors. Whether WMHs may influence motor and non-motor ... -
The Association of Sedentary Behaviour and Cognitive Function in People Without Dementia: A Coordinated Analysis Across Five Cohort Studies from COSMIC
(2020)Background: Besides physical activity as a target for dementia prevention, sedentary behaviour is hypothesized to be a potential target in its own right. The rising number of persons with dementia and lack of any effective ... -
Associations between sleep and obesity indices in older adults: results from the HELIAD study
(2019)Background: Short sleep duration and low sleep quality are negatively associated with obesity in young adults, but in older people the results are inconsistent. Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine the ... -
Atrial fibrillation and cognitive function in patients with heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)Cognitive impairment and dementia are established complications of heart failure (HF) in adult patients and impair medication adherence and self-care. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is suggested to play an independent role in ... -
Atrial Fibrillation and Dementia: A Report From the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration
(2022)Growing evidence suggests a consistent association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive impairment and dementia that is independent of clinical stroke. This report from the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration ... -
Bayley-III scales at 12 months of corrected age in preterm infants: Patterns of developmental performance and correlations to environmental and biological influences
(2015)Background and aims: Premature infants are at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) even in the absence of known brain complications of prematurity. Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions ... -
Beneficial effect of computer-based multidomain cognitive training in patients with mild cognitive impairment
(2021)The purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of computer-based multidomain cognitive training program on Greek patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Forty-six patients with MCI were randomly divided ... -
Beneficial Effect of Multidomain Cognitive Training on the Neuropsychological Performance of Patients with Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease
(2018)Background and Purpose. There is an increasing interest in the effect of nonpharmacological interventions on the course of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The objective of the present study is to determine the ... -
The beneficial effects of computer-based cognitive training in parkinson's disease: A systematic review
(2021)Background: Cognitive dysfunction is one of the most prevalent non-motor aspects of Parkinson's disease (PD). The present review focuses on published studies investigating the effect of computer-based cognitive training ... -
Clinically reliable cognitive decline in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: Is it the tip of the iceberg?
(2020)Objectives: Cognitive impairment is common in multiple sclerosis, but the brain MRI correlates in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis remain controversial. The current study aimed to investigate whether cognitive decline ... -
The cognitive benefits of bilingualism in autism spectrum disorder: Is theory of mind boosted and by which underlying factors?
