Age-Related Biomarkers in LLFS Families With Exceptional Cognitive Abilities.
Background We previously demonstrated familial aggregation of memory performance within the Long Life Family Study (LLFS), suggesting that exceptional cognition (EC) may contribute to their exceptional longevity. Here, we investigated whether LLFS families with EC may also exhibit more favorable profiles of other age-related biomarkers. Methods Nondemented offspring of the LLFS probands scori...
متن کاملReduced prevalence of cognitive impairment in families with exceptional longevity.
IMPORTANCE Family studies of centenarians and long-lived persons have found substantial familial aggregation of survival to extreme ages; however, the extent to which such familial longevity is characterized by cognitively intact survival is not established. OBJECTIVE To determine whether families with exceptional longevity are protected against cognitive impairment consistent with Alzheimer ...
متن کاملExceptional longevity in men: modifiable factors associated with survival and function to age 90 years.
BACKGROUND Prospective data on nongenetic determinants of exceptional longevity are limited, and information on long-lived men and their functional status is particularly sparse. We examined modifiable factors associated with a life span of 90 or more years and late-life function in men. METHODS In this prospective cohort study of 2357 healthy men (mean age, 72 years) within the Physicians' H...
متن کاملPlasma HDL levels highly correlate with cognitive function in exceptional longevity.
BACKGROUND Families of centenarians have high levels of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which may have neurological as well as cardiovascular protective effects during aging. Because plasma HDL level declines progressively with aging, we examined whether centenarians with higher plasma HDL levels have better cognitive function. METHODS Total plasma cholesterol, low-density ...
متن کاملEffect of Aerobic Exercise on HbA1c and Cognitive Function in Prediabetes Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise on HbA1c (Glycated hemoglobin), FBS (fasting blood sugar) and cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment prediabetes patients. Materials and Methods: Seventeen elderly mild cognitive impairment (age 55-70) men and women were selected and were randomly divided into 2 groups as aerobic (n=1...
