Associations of cognitive reserve and psychological resilience with cognitive functioning in subjects with cerebral white matter hyperintensities

چکیده
Background and purpose Cerebral small vessel disease is characterized by progressive white matter hyperintensities (WMH) cognitive decline. However, variability exists in how individuals maintain capabilities despite significant neuropathology. The relationships between individual reserve, psychological resilience functioning were examined subjects with varying degrees of WMH. Methods In the Helsinki Small Vessel Disease Study, 152 (aged 65–75 years) underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, evaluation subjective complaints brain magnetic resonance imaging volumetric WMH evaluation. Cognitive reserve was determined education (years) modified Reserve Scale (mCRS). Psychological evaluated Resilience 14. Results mCRS total score correlated significantly years (r = 0.23, p < 0.01), but it not related to age, sex or volume. Together, associated performance wide range domains including processing speed, executive functions, working memory, verbal visuospatial perception reasoning. Independently education, had incremental predictive value on delayed recall complaints. sex, severity test scores, Conclusions has strong consistent associations Education widely objective functioning, whereas lifetime engagement cognitively stimulating leisure activities (mCRS) independent memory strongly subjective, objective, functioning.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We examined white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) and subclinical infarction (no history of clinical stroke; SI) in relation to performance on tests of sequencing, cognitive flexibility, and sensorimotor ability. METHODS The Northern Manhattan Study includes a stroke-free community-based sample of Hispanic, Black, and White participants. A subsample (n=656) has unde...
متن کاملSevere cerebral white matter hyperintensities predict severe cognitive decline in patients with cerebrovascular disease history.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are believed to be the consequence of small vessel disease, and it is uncertain whether their extent predicts the risk of dementia in patients with vascular disease history. Method- Brain MRI was performed in 226 participants of the PROGRESS study. WMH severity was assessed using a visual rating scale. During follow-up, patien...
متن کاملWhite-Matter Changes Correlate with Cognitive Functioning in Parkinson’s Disease
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) findings from emerging studies of cortical white-matter integrity in Parkinson's disease (PD) without dementia are inconclusive. When white-matter changes have been found, their relationship to cognitive functioning in PD has not been carefully investigated. To better characterize changes in tissue diffusivity and to understand their functional significance, the p...

Although deep white-matter brain lesions are seen on magnetic resonance imaging in about one third of elderly subjects, their clinical significance is not known. In 1984, we studied three retired teachers who had extensive deep white-matter brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, yet functioned cognitively at an above-average level. Blinded review of 1981 computed tomographic scans reveale...

Background White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly associated with vascular dementia and poor executive functioning. Notwithstanding, recent findings have associated WMH with Alzheimer's disease as well as other cognitive functions, but there is no consensus. Objective This study aimed to verify the relationship between WMH and cognitive performance in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)...
