Neighborhood disadvantage, stress, and drug use among adults.
This paper explores the relationships among neighborhood disadvantage, stress, and the likelihood of drug use in a sample of adults (N = 1,101). Using the 1995 Detroit Area Study in conjunction with tract-level data from the 1990 census, we find a positive relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and drug use, and this relationship remains statistically significant net of controls for ind...
متن کاملExercise and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in cognitively normal older adults.
OBJECTIVE In addition to the increasingly recognized role of physical exercise in maintaining cognition, exercise may influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, as transgenic mouse studies show lowered levels of AD pathology in exercise groups. The objective of this study was to elucidate the association between exercise and AD pathology in humans using Pittsburgh compound-B (PIB), amyloid-b...
متن کاملAssociation of Functional Impairments and Co-Morbid Conditions with Driving Performance among Cognitively Normal Older Adults
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between key functional impairments, co-morbid conditions and driving performance in a sample of cognitively normal older adults. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING The Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Washington University at St. Louis. PARTICIPANTS Individuals with normal cognition, 64.9 to 88.2 years old (N = 129), with a va...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory drugs reduce age-related decreases in brain volume in cognitively normal older adults.
Previous studies have indicated a decreased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease in anti-inflammatory (AI) drug users. Yet few studies have determined whether AI drug use provides a protective effect against normal age-related changes in the brains of older adults. Regional volume changes in gray and white matter were assessed cross-sectionally using optimized voxel-based morphometry in 36 f...
متن کاملAmyloid deposition is linked to aberrant entorhinal activity among cognitively normal older adults.
Normal aging is often difficult to distinguish from the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Years before clinical memory deficits manifest, amyloid-β deposits in the cortex in many older individuals. Neuroimaging studies indicate that a set of densely connected neocortical regions, referred to as the default network, is especially vulnerable to amyloid-β deposition. Yet, the impact of amylo...
