Kids' Clubhouse Diabetes Ups Risk of Vascular Dementia Last Updated: 2004-10-19 10:59:01 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Elderly people with diabetes have an increased risk of dementia, especially so-called vascular dementia, according to new data from an ongoing Swedish study. Vascular dementia is a step-wise deterioration in intellectual powers that becomes apparent as different areas of the brain are damaged by a loss of blood supply. "The risk for dementia and vascular dementia is especially high when diabetes mellitus occurs together with severe systolic hypertension or heart disease," investigators note in the journal Neurology. Among 1300 individuals 75 years of age or older, 350 developed dementia including 260 cases of Alzheimer's disease and 49 cases of vascular dementia over an average of six years. Diabetes increased the risk of dementia 1.5-fold, and vascular dementia by 2.6 times. Dr. Chengxuan Qiu from the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center and co-authors of the report "failed to find a relevant association between diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease risk." However, diabetes mellitus in combination with severely increased systolic blood pressure (i.e., the top reading) significantly increased the risk of dementia (3.0-fold), Alzheimer's disease (2.6-fold), and vascular dementia (11.3-fold).

For Your Patients Diabetes Ups Risk of Vascular Dementia Last Updated: 2004-10-19 17:42:42 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Diabetes increases the risk of dementia, especially vascular dementia, in the elderly, according to new data from the Kungsholmen Project, a community-based longitudinal study on aging and dementia. "The risk for dementia and vascular dementia is especially high when diabetes mellitus occurs together with severe systolic hypertension or heart disease," investigators note in the October 12th issue of the journal Neurology. Among 1301 individuals 75 years of age or older who were free of dementia at baseline, 350 developed dementia, including 260 cases of Alzheimer's disease and 49 cases of vascular dementia, over 5584 person-years of follow up (6 years). According to Cox proportional modeling, diabetes mellitus increased the risk of dementia, particularly vascular dementia, independent of other vascular factors, with hazard ratios of 1.5 and 2.6, respectively. The hazard ratios for dementia and vascular dementia were even higher in patients taking oral antidiabetic agents, 1.7 and 3.6, respectively. Dr. Chengxuan Qiu from the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center and co-authors of the report "failed to find a relevant association between diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease risk."

91. Morris To Investigate Vascular Dementia That Can Follow Stroke Morris to investigate vascular dementia that can follow stroke. John C. Morris,MD, associate professor of neurology and assistant professor of pathology, http://record.wustl.edu/archive/1996/04-11-96/2318.html

Morris to investigate vascular dementia that can follow stroke John C. Morris, M.D., associate professor of neurology and assistant professor of pathology, has received a five-year $1.5 million grant to study the dementia that can follow stroke. The grant comes from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. Stroke is a major contributor to dementia, second only to Alzheimer's disease. "But few studies have studied it separately from Alzheimer's disease, so there is a great deal of confusion," said Morris, co-director of Washington University's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Stroke occurs when a blood vessel becomes blocked or bursts, preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching a region of brain tissue. Death of such tissue can hamper cognitive function, leading to dementia. The researchers will determine whether the clinical symptoms of vascular dementia are the same as those that typify Alzheimer's disease. They also will identify the areas of the brain in which damage can lead to dementia and study whether dementia arises suddenly after stroke or develops gradually before or after. The study will involve 270 men and women at risk for stroke because of high blood pressure or constricted carotid arteries. The subjects will come from studies already under way at the School of Medicine.

The study, by Anne B.

There are various forms, including Alzheimer's disease A 21-year study carried out in America looked at people's leisure activities and the risk of dementia It was found that people who regularly took part in intellectually stimulating activities (for example reading, playing board games and playing musical intruments) appeared to have a lower risk of developing dementia. Conversely, regular physical activity did not appear to reduce the risk of developing dementia. The only exception to this rule was ballroom dancing, perhaps because people need to remember the steps. Experts say that the study backs up previous research. But they caution that more research is needed to fully establish a link between intellectual stimulation and a reduction in dementia risk. Intellectual stimulation is known to help people age well and remain alert. Most forms of dementia can't yet be prevented, although a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of developing a form called vascular dementia.

How to Apply Background As the Canadian population ages, the incidence of cognitive decline and dementia is expected to increase markedly in the next 30 years, reaching epidemic proportions. However, the etiology, pathophysiology and sequelae of dementia remain not well understood, indicating the need for further research. While there are clear links between vascular health, stroke, and dementia, there is growing evidence that vascular risk factors may also predict the onset, severity and progression of Alzheimer disease. There are many unanswered questions, ranging from definition, diagnosis and basic mechanistic aspects, through to prevention and treatment strategies, caregiving and societal and economic impacts. Over this broad range of topic areas, the major focus of this Initiative is to explore the interrelationships between vascular health, vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease. Objectives The objective of this strategic initiative is to promote research in the area of vascular aspects of dementia. Eligible projects include but are not limited to:
