Q

what is step 1 of LSLS Logic?

A

with aging come neurocognitive and other health transitions
- initially healthy older adults naturally transition into one+ general and brain-health-related trajectories leading toward clinically diagnosed conditions
- brain related transitions with age

Q

what is step 2 of LSLS?

A

with longitudinal data the aging transitions can be tracked
- long-term trajectories in to and out of transition phases can be tracked for NA individuals as well as selected clinical groups

Q

what is step 3 of LSLS?

A

with long-term tracking, markers, inflection points, and individual differences can be identified
- following individuals over long periods can lead to: characterization of individual differences in trajectories, detection of individual trajectory subtypes, identification of inflection points, detection of early markers of later NDD, evolution of roles of risk and protection factors

Q

what is step 4 of LSLS?

A

with marker identification, progress in understanding aging conditions
-> progress toward descriptive clarity and explanatory understanding of biological, neurological, health, and cognitive precursors of transitions reflecting stability in NA, decline of MCI, onset of dementia and healthy, resilient or exceptional BA

25
what are the aims of SNAC-K?
- examining genetic, health, social, cog, sub, lifestyle factors that risk/protect healthy aging - examine rf and pf associated with NDD, multi-morbidity, diseases - examining natural history of NDD from pre-clinical to clinical phases, resolution
26
who created SNAC-K?
Dr Laura Fratiglioni
27
who participated in SNAC-K?
60-99 - CSL - OO (78-99): 3 yr interval - YO (60-78): 6 yr
28
what does SNAC-K study?
nurse interview: demographic background, substance use, physical fxn, health practices clinical form cognitive functioning background/other
29
what were the social and public health results from SNAC-K?
- ad public health crisis: increase disorders with aging (MCI and dementia) - quality of drug use (prescription errors and meds misuse) - economic: model costs over time -> greater avg severity over time -> lower and diminishing prevalence and decreasing overall costs
30
what were the vascular rf and dementia results?
rf and diseases: smoking, alcohol, heart conditions, mild stroke, diabetes - increased risk of dementia
31
what is the correlation to diabetes and MCI?
increased risk accelerated rate of progression
32
why do some with APOE e4 not have dementia?
it is a risk but not a determinant - not all carriers convert
33
who has the greatest to the least risk of AD?
e4-e4 e4-e3 e3-e3
34
what is risk reduction for APOE e4?
risk of dementia for e4 carriers was reduced when they had at baseline - low vascular RFs, higher education, more leisure activities
35
what are the results of lifestyle moderates diabetes-dementia risk?
leisure activity engagement and rich social network may compensate (reduce risk associated with diabetes) - 48% of diabetes dementia could be prevented with active social-leisure lifestyles
36
what are the results of environmental pollution and cog health?
long-term exposure is an RF - CVD most affected - rf for depression in older adults - transportation noise also a dementia for RF
37
what did the VLS track?
normal aging: NA, BCA, asympt, non-demented exceptional/resilient: healthy brain/cog aging (EBCA) pre-clinical: transitions or classifications (SCI, MCI) clinical status: diagnosed (AD, ADRD) predictors and moderators: multiple rfs, pfs, biomarkers, genetics, sex/gender, exposures
38
where does funding for VLS come from?
NIH and other
39
what is the 3-point rationale?
- target initially healthy cohorts: recruit successive cohorts of relatively healthy adults - have patience for patients: follow cohort longitudinally as they develop various aging-related conditions - archives are assets: maintain precise long-term archives and conduct research on patterns, profiles, predictors, rfs, moderators of cognitive changes associated with epidemiological interests in BCA and D
40
what are the 3 cohorts for VLS?
MA-YO (55-64) MO (65-74) OO (75-85)
41
what are the intervals between waves?
3-4 yr intervals b/w waves
42
was this a full LONG design?
no - sequence longitudinal design across 3 gens
43
what are the 3 recent and integrative initiatives?
mci/dementia initiatives biomarker and risk healthy ba
44
what occurred to each wave every 4 years?
attrition - wave 1: mobility - wave 2: impairment - wave 3: morbidity
45
what are the 4 clusters of cognitive health/decline indicators?
- components of neurocognitive performance, change and status - health, disease, meds - biomarkers, fitness, genetics, bioage - background, life history, affect, activities, exposures, experiences
46
what is episodic memory and why is it important?
- explicit recall of personally experienced single episodes or events - common complaint - "AD warning sign" - early sign of NDD - YA > MA > YO > OO - gradual aging decline YO ~ MA > or equal to OO
47
what is preserved in asymptomatic aging?
semantic memory - memory for facts, concepts, culturally provided info, accumulated and shared knowledge
48
what are the 7 steps for LSLS?
- linking and extending traditional approaches (1-4) - tracking: descriptive forms of change (5-6) - memory in healthy brain and cog aging (7+) - exploring mechanisms and modifiers of change
49
who had better episodic memory and semantic?
YA OA
50
what were the results for MA and EA for episodic memory?
same bc hard to gather data from the group
51
steps 1-4 what do you learn from the data?
- within-aging age differences: evident and sustained heterogeneity - across waves are modest and gradual group-level changes - disconnect b/w regularity of CSL group mean differences and actual change patterns and substantial variability in LONG trajectories
52
what is the purpose of spaghetti plots?
exploring functional forms of memory changes - growth curves summarize overall change across full age band
53
how are spaghetti plots improved?
new tech in trajectory research data-driven analytics
54
what is machine learning technology?
unsupervised discovery of properties and patterns in big or complex data - use data driven modeling: identify subtype patterns of trajectory distributions, determine precision predictors of each cluster, explore efficacy as AD prevention targets
55
what is data-driven analystics?
- secondary phenotype classification - differentiate between high and low risk - test and compare multiple predictors from risk modalities - mechanisms vay - interventions require precision - study stratified subgroups
56
what were the results of biomarker predictors by subclass and age?
- predictor patterns were diff for SMA and DMA - predictors were diff for YO and OO - sex predicted SMA, not DMA - age predicted DMA for YO adults only
57
what is memory resilience?
sustained memory performance over time despite objective adversity (in addition to age) of AD genetic risk
58
what is the first definition?
objective operational definition (APOE) - resilient = observed when persons with AD genetic risk show memory trajectories with relatively high intercept and sustained/high slope
59
what is the second for memory resilience?
- focus on modifiable rf predictors of resilience - 22 5 risk domains: demographic, functional, health, gait/mobility, lifestyle
60
what is the third approach for memory resilience?
sex gender
61
what are memory resilience to AD genetic risk predictors for women?
- lower pulse pressure, higher peak expiratory flow - faster walking and turning time - more social visits and volunteering - living with someone and being married
62
what are memory resilience to AD genetic risk predictors for male?
fewer depressive symptoms
63
what are are memory resilience to AD genetic risk predictors for both?
younger age education stronger grip everday novel cognitive activity less alcohol
64
what occurred after W6 for later diagnosed ad?
word steeply declines (episodic)
65
what can identifying key clusters of change patterns and testing potential decision predictors lead to?
progress in early detection of mci and ad risk early detection of hbca potential
