  1. Risk factor analysis of cognitive frailty in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 44 out of 100. Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience 2025-09-25 Risk factors

    The prevalence of CF was 24.3%. Cerebrovascular disease (OR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.44-3.97) and peripheral arterial disease (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.03-2.95) were significant risk factors, while higher education (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76-0.94) and later diabetes onset (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.88-0.98) were protective.

  2. Distinctive Progression Patterns of Brain Structural Damage Aid Classification of Frontotemporal Dementia Variants

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. European Journal of Neurology 2025-09-01 Lewy body dementia

    At baseline, sbvFTD showed right-predominant temporal pole involvement associated with significant right frontal atrophy.

  3. Late Life Depression is Not Associated With Alzheimer-Type Tau: Preliminary Evidence From a Next-Generation Tau Ligand PET-MR Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry 2024-07-18 Biomarkers

    Our findings suggest AD-type tau is not higher in LLD compared to non-depressed, cognitively unimpaired older adults and appears unlikely to contribute to lower gray matter volume in LLD, further underscoring the need to distinguish major depressive disorder from depressive symptoms occurring in early AD.

  4. Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Before Diagnosis of Dementia: A 28-Year Follow-up Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 70 out of 100. JAMA psychiatry 2017-07-01 Getting a diagnosis

    Those reporting depressive symptoms in 1985 (mean follow-up, 27 years) did not have significantly increased risk for dementia (hazard ratio [HR], 1.21; 95% CI, 0.95-1.54) in Cox regression adjusted for sociodemographic covariates, health behaviors, and chronic conditions.
