Incidence, Manifestations, and Predictors of Brain Infarcts Defined by Serial Cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Elderly
Background and Purpose—MRI-defined infarcts are common in the elderly. We sought to explore incidence, manifestations, and predictors of such infarcts. Methods—The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) is a population-based, longitudinal study of 5888 people aged 65 years. Participants have had extensive baseline and follow-up evaluations; 1433 participants underwent 2 MRI scans separated by 5 year...
متن کاملIncidence, manifestations, and predictors of brain infarcts defined by serial cranial magnetic resonance imaging in the elderly: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MRI-defined infarcts are common in the elderly. We sought to explore incidence, manifestations, and predictors of such infarcts. METHODS The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) is a population-based, longitudinal study of 5888 people aged > or =65 years. Participants have had extensive baseline and follow-up evaluations; 1433 participants underwent 2 MRI scans separated b...
متن کاملSlower gait, slower information processing and smaller prefrontal area in older adults.
BACKGROUND Slower gait in older adults is related to smaller volume of the prefrontal area (PFAv). The pathways underlying this association have not yet been explored. Understanding slowing gait could help improve function in older age. We examine whether the association between smaller PFAv and slower gait is explained by lower performance on numerous neuropsychological tests. HYPOTHESIS We ...
متن کاملGait variability is associated with subclinical brain vascular abnormalities in high-functioning older adults.
BACKGROUND Gait variability is an index of how much gait parameters, such as step length, change from one step to the next. Gait variability increases with age and in individuals affected by cortical and subcortical neurodegenerative conditions, and it is associated with falls and incident mobility disability. The brain anatomical correlates of gait variability have not been studied in high-fun...
متن کاملSingle and combined effects of cerebral white matter lesions and lacunar infarctions on cognitive function in an elderly population.
BACKGROUND This study is to investigate the association between single and combined vascular brain changes (white matter lesions [WMLs], lacunar infarctions) and the cognitive domains of memory, processing speed, and motor function in the elderly adults. METHODS In a sample of 268 participants aged 65-83 years of the MEMO (Memory and Morbidity in Augsburg Elderly) population-based study in Au...
