DESIGN Prospective cohort study (Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS)). SETTING Community. PARTICIPANTS A subsample of 588 stroke-free NOMAS participants with IB and cognitive data (mean age 71 ± 8, 62% female, 14% white, 16% black, 70% Hispanic) an...
متن کاملInfectious burden and risk of stroke: the northern Manhattan study.
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between a composite measure of serological test results for common infections (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2) and stroke risk in a prospective cohort study. DESIGN Prospective cohort followed up longitudinally for median 8 years. SETTING Northern Manhattan Study. Patients Randomly selected ...
متن کاملInfectious burden and carotid plaque thickness: the northern Manhattan study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The overall burden of prior infections may contribute to atherosclerosis and stroke risk. We hypothesized that serological evidence of common infections would be associated with carotid plaque thickness in a multiethnic cohort. METHODS Antibody titers to 5 common infectious microorganisms (ie, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpesvirus 1...
متن کاملThe metabolic syndrome and cognitive performance: the Northern Manhattan Study.
BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk factor for diabetes, stroke, myocardial infarction, and increased mortality, and has been associated with cognition in some populations. We hypothesized that MetS would be associated with lower Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores in a multi-ethnic population, and that MetS is a better predictor of cognition than its individual component...
متن کاملReported alcohol consumption and cognitive decline: The northern Manhattan study.
BACKGROUND Moderate alcohol intake may slow cognitive decline, and both vascular and neurodegenerative mechanisms have been implicated. METHODS We examined reported alcohol intake and cognitive decline in a community-based cohort of Hispanic, black and white individuals (n = 1,428). The role of the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 (APOE4) allele as a modifier was also studied. RESULTS AND CONCLUSI...
