Purpose

We examined how multiple dimensions of social connectedness are associated with psychological distress among Black American adults in Milwaukee, WI, USA.

Methods

The sample included 897 Black adults from (MIDUS 3, 2016–2017: n = 389; and MIDUS Refresher, 2012–2013: n = 508). Social connectedness measures included neighborhood cohesion, family/friend support and strain, contribution to community, social contribution (beliefs about one's value to society), and social integration (sense of belonging). Psychological distress was measured using the Kessler-6 Scale (range 0–24) as a continuous outcome. Three serial multiple linear regression models tested associations: Model 1 (unadjusted; included only social connectedness measures), Model 2 (adjusted for demographics and health), and Model 3 (fully adjusted for demographics, health, socioeconomic factors, and spirituality).

Results

After adjusting for all covariates in the fully adjusted model, three dimensions of social connectedness were significantly associated with lower psychological distress scores: neighborhood social cohesion (β = −0.74, 95% CI = -1.09 to − 0.39, p < 0.001), support from family (β = −0.62, 95% CI = -1.17 to − 0.07, p = 0.028), and social contribution (β = −0.68, 95% CI = -1.23 to − 0.12, p = 0.018). These associations remained significant across all three progressive models. Other social connectedness dimensions were not significantly associated with psychological distress.

Conclusions

Neighborhood social cohesion, family support, and beliefs about contributing meaningfully to society were associated with lower psychological distress among Black adults in Milwaukee. These findings highlight the multifaceted nature of social connectedness and suggest that interventions targeting these specific dimensions may help reduce psychological distress in this population.
目的:我们研究了在美国密尔沃基的美国黑人成年人中,社会联系的多个维度是如何与心理困扰相关的。方法:样本包括来自MIDUS 3, 2016-2017: n = 389;MIDUS Refresher, 2012-2013: n = 508)的897名黑人成人。社会连通性的衡量标准包括邻里凝聚力、家庭/朋友的支持和压力、对社区的贡献、社会贡献(个人对社会价值的信念)和社会融合(归属感)。使用Kessler-6量表(范围0-24)作为连续结果来测量心理困扰。三个系列多元线性回归模型检验了相关性:模型1(未经调整;仅包括社会联系措施),模型2(调整了人口统计学和健康),模型3(完全调整了人口统计学,健康,社会经济因素和精神)。结果:在完全调整模型中调整所有协变量后,社会联系的三个维度与较低的心理困扰得分显著相关:社区社会凝聚力(β = -0.74,95% CI = -1.09至 - 0.39,p )结论:密尔沃基黑人成年人的社区社会凝聚力、家庭支持和对社会做出有意义贡献的信念与较低的心理困扰有关。这些发现强调了社会联系的多面性,并表明针对这些特定维度的干预可能有助于减少这一人群的心理困扰。

Background

Identify the influencing factors that respectively affect the differences in cognitive function trajectories between China and the United States, and explore the reasons for gender and transnational differences.

Methods

Five waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were utilized, and Latent Class Growth Models (LCGMs) was employed to identify cognitive trajectories. The optimal machine learning (ML) model was adopted and the Boruta algorithm was used to screen the variables. The SHAP value is used to explain the ranking of feature importance.

Results

The XGBoost model performs best among the six ML models. Education was the top influencing factor across groups. Family factors mattered more in China, while U.S. medical and endowment insurance had stronger effects. Men were more affected by external social networks; women were influenced by family responsibilities and community environments.

Conclusion

Differences were linked to public services, social roles, and traditional culture. These results support the development of tailored interventions targeting gender-specific and culture pathways at the individual, family, society and community levels, offering actionable insights for promoting cognitive health in aging populations globally.
背景:明确分别影响中美两国认知功能轨迹差异的影响因素,探讨造成性别和跨国差异的原因。方法:利用中国健康与退休纵向研究(CHARLS)和健康与退休研究(HRS)的五波数据,采用潜在类别增长模型(LCGMs)识别认知轨迹。采用最优机器学习(ML)模型,采用Boruta算法筛选变量。SHAP值用于解释特征重要性的排序。结果:XGBoost模型在6种ML模型中表现最好。教育是各群体中最重要的影响因素。在中国,家庭因素的影响更大,而美国的医疗和养老保险的影响更大。男性更容易受到外部社会网络的影响;妇女受到家庭责任和社区环境的影响。结论:差异与公共服务、社会角色和传统文化有关。这些结果支持在个人、家庭、社会和社区层面制定针对特定性别和文化途径的量身定制的干预措施,为促进全球老龄人口的认知健康提供可操作的见解。

Background

The combined associations of nocturnal sleep duration and depressive symptoms with older adults' cognitive function (assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE) remain undercharacterized, with unclear mechanistic pathways and sleep duration-cognition non-linear relationships. This study explored the independent, joint, and mediated associations of depressive symptoms (measured via the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, GDS-15) and self-reported nocturnal sleep duration with cognitive function/impairment (MMSE <24) in community-dwelling older Chinese adults.

Methods

Data came from the 2019 HAELAS baseline (4145 adults ≥65 years). A three-stage analysis was used: 1) restricted cubic spline (RCS) for non-linear associations of sleep duration/depressive score with MMSE; 2) multivariable logistic regression for independent/joint associations with cognitive impairment; 3) 4-way decomposition for mediated pathways, stratified by sleep-cognition U-shaped inflection point.

Results

Of 4145 participants, 28.0% (n = 1160) had cognitive impairment and 24.92% (n = 1033) had depressive symptoms. Independent associations: GDS-15 score per 1-point increase raised cognitive impairment risk by 10.5% (adjusted OR = 1.105, 95% CI:1.079–1.131, P < 0.001); RCS showed a sleep-cognition U-shape (P < 0.001), with short sleepers (<6 h/night) having 27.4% higher risk vs. normal sleepers (6–7.9 h/night, OR = 1.274, P < 0.05) and long sleepers (≥8 h/night) also showing significant association. Joint associations: All 6 subgroups (depression × sleep) had higher ORs vs. reference (non-depressed +6–7.9 h/night), with Group F (depressed + ≥8 h/night) having the highest risk (OR = 2.62). Mediation: Stratified by sleep inflection (7 h), for sleep ≤7 h, extending sleep exerted a protective total effect on cognition (37.91% indirectly mediated by reduced depressive symptoms, 62.06% direct protective effect), while for sleep >7 h, longer sleep showed a harmful total effect on cognition (mainly driven by direct effect, with depressive symptoms no longer serving as a meaningful mediator). Depressive symptoms exerted a harmful effect on cognition primarily through direct effect, with sleep duration playing a negligible mediating role across both sleep strata.

Conclusions

This study clarifies the sleep-depression-cognition interplay in older Chinese adults, providing an empirical basis for targeted interventions (optimizing sleep to 6–7.9 h/night, alleviating depression) to reduce cognitive impairment risk.
背景:夜间睡眠持续时间和抑郁症状与老年人认知功能(通过迷你精神状态检查,MMSE评估)的联合关联仍然不清楚,机制途径和睡眠持续时间-认知的非线性关系尚不清楚。本研究探讨了抑郁症状(通过15项老年抑郁量表GDS-15测量)和自我报告的夜间睡眠时间与认知功能/障碍(MMSE)之间的独立、联合和介导的关联。方法:数据来自2019年HAELAS基线(4145名≥65 岁的成年人)。采用三阶段分析:1)限制三次样条(RCS)分析睡眠持续时间/抑郁评分与MMSE的非线性关联;2)与认知障碍独立或共同关联的多变量logistic回归;3)以睡眠-认知u型拐点分层的四向通路分解。结果:在4145名参与者中,28.0% (n = 1160)有认知障碍,24.92% (n = 1033)有抑郁症状。独立关联:GDS-15评分每增加1分,认知障碍风险增加10.5%(调整后OR = 1.105,95% CI:1.079-1.131, P 7 h),睡眠时间延长对认知产生有害的总影响(主要由直接影响驱动,抑郁症状不再作为有意义的中介因素)。抑郁症状主要通过直接影响对认知产生有害影响,而睡眠时间在两个睡眠阶层中都起着微不足道的中介作用。结论:本研究明确了中国老年人睡眠-抑郁-认知的相互作用,为有针对性的干预(优化睡眠至6-7.9 h/夜,缓解抑郁)降低认知障碍风险提供了经验依据。

Depression symptom measurement instruments such as PHQ-9, HADS and BDI are used to aid in the diagnosis and management of depression. Variation in within-individual depression symptom measurements may affect their clinical utility but estimates of this variation are currently almost non-existent.
Data on PHQ-9, HADS and BDI results and sociodemographic, lifestyle and comorbidity covariates were extracted from the CPRD database. A minimum of four measurements in the same individual was the only inclusion criterion. Within-individual measured variation was calculated as a coefficient of variation (CV) using a linear regression random effects model.

Results

195,171 participants had at least four measures of PHQ-9 after impossible values were excluded. For HADS, this figure was 8231 participants and for BDI 215, making this by far the largest study of variation of depression symptom measurement instruments to date. The overall total coefficient of variation (CVT) (95% confidence interval) was 0.412 (0.411 to 0.413) for PHQ-9, 0.370 (0.365 to 0.374) for HADS and 0.763 (0.701 to 0.826) for BDI. In contrast to studies of variation of other tests, variation decreased with increased mean patient score (i.e. variation decreased with worsening disease severity).
Estimated within-individual variation in this analysis of real-world data is very high and has not previously been reported. Variation decreases with patient mean score. The high within-individual variation of depression measurement instruments and the higher estimated variation in less severely affected patients have important implications for the diagnosis, monitoring and clinical decision-making for depression.
抑郁症状测量工具如PHQ-9、HADS和BDI被用来帮助抑郁症的诊断和管理。个体抑郁症状测量的差异可能会影响其临床效用,但目前对这种差异的估计几乎不存在。从CPRD数据库中提取PHQ-9、HADS和BDI结果以及社会人口统计学、生活方式和合并症协变量的数据。在同一个体中至少进行四次测量是唯一的纳入标准。使用线性回归随机效应模型计算个体内测量的变异系数(CV)。结果:195171名受试者在排除不可能值后至少有四项PHQ-9测量。对于HADS,这个数字是8231名参与者,对于BDI,这个数字是215名,这是迄今为止对抑郁症状测量工具变化的最大研究。PHQ-9的总变异系数(CVT)(95%置信区间)为0.412 (0.411 ~ 0.413),HADS为0.370 (0.365 ~ 0.374),BDI为0.763(0.701 ~ 0.826)。与其他测试的变异研究相反,变异随着患者平均评分的增加而减少(即变异随着疾病严重程度的恶化而减少)。在对真实世界数据的分析中,估计的个体内变异非常高,以前没有报道过。变异随患者平均评分而减小。抑郁症测量工具的高个体内变异和较轻患者的高估计变异对抑郁症的诊断、监测和临床决策具有重要意义。

Purpose

This study aims to characterize differences during fine-motor execution between late-life depression (LLD) and healthy control (HC) older adults, and to evaluate the feasibility and robustness of classification models based on cluster-derived features.

Methods

We enrolled 95 individuals in 2024 at The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province (LLD, n = 58; HC, n = 37). Participants wore AX6 triaxial accelerometers on both wrists (100 Hz) and completed four Purdue Pegboard subtests and the Clock Drawing Test. Preprocessing included three-axis standardization, computation of signal vector magnitude (SVM), sliding-window segmentation, principal component analysis, and Gaussian mixture model clustering.

Results

On scales, HAMD-17 was significantly higher in LLD than HC, and MMSE also differed. LLD performed worse than HC on all four Purdue Pegboard subtests with significant differences, while the raw Clock Drawing score was not significant. Task-level comparisons of “pattern composition” were significant across all five tasks (Purdue subtests p = 0.001 each; Clock Drawing test p = 0.010). Of 50 clusterwise comparisons, 31 showed significant between-group differences with replication across tasks. Classification performance was as follows: Lasso–logistic, accuracy 0.89 (95% CI 0.81–0.95), sensitivity 0.81, specificity 0.95, AUC 0.95; XGBoost, accuracy 0.89 (95% CI 0.81–0.95), sensitivity 0.91, specificity 0.89, AUC 0.94. Overall, LLD more often exhibited intermittent, higher-peak, rhythm-unstable kinematic patterns during task execution.

Conclusions

目的:本研究旨在表征老年抑郁症(LLD)和健康对照组(HC)老年人精细运动执行的差异,并评估基于聚类衍生特征的分类模型的可行性和鲁棒性。方法:于2024年在云南省第一人民医院招募95例患者(LLD, n = 58;HC, n = 37)。参与者在两只手腕上都佩戴了AX6三轴加速度计(100 Hz),并完成了四个普渡钉板子测试和时钟绘制测试。预处理包括三轴标准化、信号矢量大小(SVM)计算、滑动窗口分割、主成分分析和高斯混合模型聚类。结果:在量表上,LLD的HAMD-17明显高于HC, MMSE也有差异。LLD在所有四项Purdue Pegboard子测试中表现都比HC差,差异显著,而原始时钟绘图评分不显著。“模式组成”的任务水平比较在所有五个任务中都是显著的(Purdue子测试p = 0.001每个;时钟绘制测试p = 0.010)。在50个集群比较中,有31个显示了组间的显著差异。分类表现如下:Lasso-logistic,准确率0.89 (95% CI 0.81 ~ 0.95),敏感性0.81,特异性0.95,AUC 0.95;XGBoost,准确度0.89 (95% CI 0.81-0.95),灵敏度0.91,特异性0.89,AUC 0.94。总的来说,LLD在任务执行过程中更经常表现出间歇性、峰值高、节奏不稳定的运动模式。结论:腕带加速度测量结合标准化精细运动任务可以提取可解释、可重复的“运动模式指纹”,客观地描述LLD和HC在节奏组织和运动稳定性方面的差异。

Background

How old one feels one's subjective age has been shown to predict important psychological and health outcomes. However, little is known about the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) in subjective age.

Methods

Subjective age was assessed via self-reported perceived psychological and physiological ages, and subjective aging was defined as the ratio of subjective age to chronological age greater than 1.5. Logistic regression was used to analyze the associations of ACEs and PCEs with subjective aging. Using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) as an effect measure, we evaluated whether PCEs moderated ACEs' impact on subjective aging.

Results

Participants had a mean chronological age of 19.3 years, with a mean self-perceived psychological age of 26.9 years and a physiological age of 30.1 years. Most (97.8%) reported PCEs, while 61.5% had ACEs. In adjusted models, those with high ACE exposure (≥5) showed increased odds of subjective physiological aging (OR = 1.976, 95%CI = 1.608–2.429) and a higher likelihood of subjective psychological aging (OR = 2.009, 95%CI = 1.596–2.529) compared to those with an ACE score of 0. Individuals with PCE scores of 10 had lower odds of subjective physiological aging (OR = 0.417, 95%CI = 0.318–0.545) and a lower likelihood of subjective psychological aging (OR = 0.586, 95%CI = 0.441–0.779) than those with lower PCE scores (0–4). Additionally, the effect of high ACE levels on subjective physiological aging was significantly increased by low PCE levels (RERI [95%CI]:3.900 [1.059–6.741]).

Conclusions

ACEs significantly increased the risk of subjective aging. PCEs significantly buffered ACEs' impact, revealing their protective role in aging perceptions.
一个人感觉自己的主观年龄有多大,已经被证明可以预测重要的心理和健康结果。然而,关于不良童年经历(ace)和积极童年经历(pce)在主观年龄中的作用知之甚少。方法主观年龄通过自我报告的感知心理和生理年龄进行评估,主观年龄与实际年龄之比大于1.5定义为主观年龄。采用Logistic回归分析ace和pce与主观衰老的关系。使用相互作用导致的相对过度风险(rei)作为效应测量,我们评估了pce是否减缓了ace对主观衰老的影响。结果参与者的平均实足年龄为19.3岁,自我感知的平均心理年龄为26.9岁,生理年龄为30.1岁。大多数(97.8%)报告pce, 61.5%报告ace。在调整后的模型中,与ACE评分为0的患者相比,ACE高暴露者(≥5)主观生理衰老的几率增加(OR = 1.976, 95%CI = 1.608-2.429),主观心理衰老的可能性更高(OR = 2.009, 95%CI = 1.596-2.529)。PCE得分为10分的个体主观生理衰老的可能性(OR = 0.417, 95%CI = 0.318 ~ 0.545)和主观心理衰老的可能性(OR = 0.586, 95%CI = 0.441 ~ 0.779)均低于PCE得分较低的个体(0 ~ 4)。此外,低PCE水平显著增加了高ACE水平对主观生理衰老的影响(rei [95%CI]:3.900[1.059-6.741])。结论sace显著增加了主观衰老风险。pce显著缓冲了ace的影响,揭示了它们在衰老认知中的保护作用。

Background

Depression and chronic pain are major global health challenges, bidirectionally associated and significantly increasing chronic disease risk. This study aimed to systematically investigate the complex interplay, joint effects, and mediation mechanisms among depression, pain, and seven major chronic conditions.

Methods

This population-based, multinational cohort study analyzed longitudinal data from a large number of adults aged 45 years and older across five major cohorts: the Health and Retirement Study, the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, and the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Depression was assessed by CES-D/Euro-D, and pain and chronic conditions by self-report.

Results

Participants averaged 60.62 years of age, with 28% reporting baseline depressive symptoms and approximately 36% reporting pain. Both baseline depression and pain significantly increased the incidence risk of all seven chronic diseases. Crucially, their co-occurrence amplified this risk substantially, with respiratory diseases showing an HR of 2.42 and arthritis an HR of 2.28. Causal mediation analysis revealed bidirectional roles: pain significantly mediated the association between depression and arthritis, with 56.6% mediation observed for arthritis. Meanwhile, depression mediated the association between pain and diabetes/hypertension, with 42.5% mediation observed for diabetes.

Conclusion

This study identifies strong associations and bidirectional mediating roles between depression, pain, and chronic disease risk, with their co-occurrence markedly increasing vulnerability. These findings highlight the importance of early detection and integrated management of depression and pain to help reduce the onset of chronic diseases.

Background

Lung function has been increasingly linked to brain health, prompting investigation into the causal relationships between lung function and brain structures. This study employs Mendelian Randomization (MR) to explore these causal relationships, leveraging genetic variants as proxies to predict the effects of lung function on brain cortical and subcortical structures.

Methods

We conducted univariable and multivariable MR analyses using GWAS summary statistics for lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC) and brain structures from the UK Biobank and ENIGMA consortium. Our analyses included five MR methods—IVW, MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode—to ensure robust causal inference. Multivariable MR (MVMR) analyses were performed to adjust for potential confounders. Sensitivity analyses were performed to confirm the stability of our results, and we applied Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.

Results

The univariable MR analysis revealed significant associations between lung function and brain structures. Higher FEV1 was associated with increased global cortical surface area (β = 4428.037, SE = 610.453, p = 4.056E-13), higher FVC with increased global cortical surface area (β = 3650.674, SE = 576.736, p = 2.453E-10), and higher FEV1/FVC with increased paracentral surface area (β = 13.076, SE = 3.538, p = 2.193E-04). FVC was similarly associated with increased parsopercularis thickness (β = 0.013, SE = 0.003, p = 1.160E-04). Significant associations persisted in subcortical regions, with higher FEV1 and FVC linked to increased brainstem volume (FEV1: β = 0.226, SE = 0.049, p = 3.617E-06; FVC: β = 0.203, SE = 0.044, p = 4.158E-06). Multivariable MR confirmed these associations, even after adjusting for smoking, education, socioeconomic status, and physical activity. Significant associations persisted in cortical surface area, with higher FVC linked to increased global cortical surface area, and increased paracentral surface area for FEV1/FVC. Sensitivity and pleiotropy analyses indicated no significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy, confirming the robustness of the results.

Conclusion

Our study provides robust evidence of a causal relationship between lung function and brain structure, emphasizing the protective effects of better respiratory health on brain integrity.
背景:肺功能已经越来越多地与大脑健康联系在一起,促使人们对肺功能和大脑结构之间的因果关系进行研究。本研究采用孟德尔随机化(MR)来探索这些因果关系,利用遗传变异作为代理来预测肺功能对大脑皮层和皮层下结构的影响。方法:我们使用GWAS汇总统计对来自UK Biobank和ENIGMA联盟的肺功能(FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC)和脑结构进行单变量和多变量MR分析。我们的分析包括五种MR方法——ivw、MR- egger、加权中位数、加权模型和简单模型——以确保可靠的因果推理。进行多变量MR (MVMR)分析以调整潜在的混杂因素。进行敏感性分析以确认结果的稳定性,并对多重比较应用Bonferroni校正。结果:单变量MR分析显示肺功能和脑结构之间存在显著关联。更高FEV1增加全球的皮质表面面积(β = 4428.037 SE = 610.453,p = 4.056 e-13),与全球皮质表面积增加更高的FVC(β = 3650.674 SE = 576.736,p = 2.453平台以及),和更高的FEV1 / FVC的表面积增加了近中心(β = 13.076 SE = 3.538,p = 2.193 e-04)。FVC与膜旁肌厚度增加相似(β = 0.013,SE = 0.003,p = 1.160E-04)。重大协会坚持皮质下区域,高FEV1和FVC与增加的脑干体积(FEV1:β = 0.226 SE = 0.049,p = 3.617 e-06; FVC:β = 0.203 SE = 0.044,p = 4.158 e-06)。即使在调整了吸烟、教育、社会经济地位和身体活动等因素后,多变量MR也证实了这些关联。重大协会坚持皮质表面积,高FVC与全球皮质表面积增加,并增加近中心FEV1 / FVC的表面积。敏感性和多效性分析显示无显著异质性或水平多效性,证实了结果的稳健性。结论:我们的研究为肺功能和脑结构之间的因果关系提供了强有力的证据,强调了良好的呼吸健康对脑完整性的保护作用。

Background

Previous studies have reported alterations in gray matter volume (GMV) in patients with Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), but the specific characteristics of cortical morphology and brain network organization remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate cortical structural changes, focusing on cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA), and further explore potential disruptions in the structural covariance networks (SCNs) in individuals with SSD.

Methods

High-resolution T1-weighted MRI data were acquired from 50 patients with SSD and 60 healthy controls (HCs), to assess group differences in CT and SA using FreeSurfer. Partial correlation analyses were conducted to explore associations between cortical metrics and clinical variables. SCNs were constructed based on regional morphometric features, and graph theoretical analysis was employed to evaluate network topology.

Results

Compared to HCs, SSD patients showed reduced CT in the left superior frontal gyrus (SFG), left pars triangularis gyrus (PTG), and bilateral rostral middle frontal gyrus (rMFG). Notably, CT in the right rMFG was negatively associated with somatic symptom severity. Graph theoretical analysis of the CT-based SCN revealed increased nodal degree in the right inferior temporal gyrus, along with higher small-worldness index (σ), normalized clustering coefficient (γ), and local efficiency in the right hemisphere. In the SA-based SCN, decreased nodal efficiency was observed in the left middle occipital sulcus and lunate sulcus.

Conclusion

These findings highlight both cortical structural alterations and disrupted SCN organization in SSD. Such abnormalities may serve as potential neuroimaging markers for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying SSD.
背景:以前的研究已经报道了躯体症状障碍(SSD)患者的灰质体积(GMV)的改变,但皮层形态和大脑网络组织的具体特征仍然知之甚少。本研究旨在研究SSD患者的皮质结构变化,重点关注皮质厚度(CT)和表面积(SA),并进一步探讨结构协方差网络(SCNs)的潜在破坏。方法:获取50例SSD患者和60例健康对照(hc)的高分辨率t1加权MRI数据,评估FreeSurfer在CT和SA方面的组间差异。采用偏相关分析探讨皮质指标与临床变量之间的关系。基于区域形态特征构建scn,利用图论分析对网络拓扑进行评价。结果:与hc相比,SSD患者左侧额上回(SFG)、左侧三角部回(PTG)和双侧吻侧额中回(rMFG)的CT显示减少。值得注意的是,右侧rMFG的CT与躯体症状严重程度呈负相关。基于ct的SCN图理论分析显示,右下颞回节点度增加,小世界指数(σ)、归一化聚类系数(γ)和右半球局部效率升高。在基于sa的SCN中,观察到左侧枕中沟和月骨沟的节效率降低。结论:这些发现强调了SSD的皮质结构改变和SCN组织破坏。这种异常可以作为潜在的神经影像学标记物,用于理解SSD的神经生物学机制。

Background

While smoking and drinking are known to influence cognitive function, the future risk of incident dementia among individuals diagnosed with mental and behavioral disorders due to tobacco use (MBT) and mental and behavioral disorders due to alcohol use (MBA) remains unclear.

Methods

Data were sourced from the UK Biobank, a publicly accessible database in the United Kingdom. The analysis included 362,934 participants free of dementia at baseline. MBT and MBA were identified using ICD-10 codes from first occurrence data in the UK Biobank dataset. Dementia outcomes, defined algorithmically by the UK Biobank, included all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular dementia. Cox regression models assessed the associations of MBT and MBA with incident dementia.

Results

Among only smoking participants, those with MBT had an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.47 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10–1.96) for all-cause dementia, compared with non-MBT participants. Among only drinking participants, those with MBA had an adjusted HR of 2.34 (95% CI: 2.05–2.68) for all-cause dementia, compared with non-MBA participants. Among both smoking and drinking participants, those with both MBT and MBA (HR = 3.86, 95% CI: 2.78–5.35), those with only MBT (HR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.02–1.67), and those with only MBA (HR = 2.46, 1.39–4.35) had a significantly higher risk of incident dementia, compared with non-MBT and non-MBA participants.

Conclusions

Individuals diagnosed with MBT, MBA, or both are associated with a higher likelihood of incident dementia. These findings underscore the need for interventions targeting these behaviors to mitigate the dementia incidence.
虽然已知吸烟和饮酒会影响认知功能,但在被诊断为烟草使用导致的精神和行为障碍(MBT)和酒精使用导致的精神和行为障碍(MBA)的个体中,未来发生痴呆的风险尚不清楚。方法数据来源于英国生物银行(UK Biobank),这是英国一个可公开访问的数据库。该分析包括362934名基线时无痴呆的参与者。利用英国生物银行数据集中首次发生的数据中的ICD-10代码识别MBT和MBA。痴呆结果由英国生物银行通过算法定义,包括全因痴呆、阿尔茨海默病和血管性痴呆。Cox回归模型评估了MBT和MBA与痴呆发生率的关系。结果在吸烟的参与者中,与非吸烟的参与者相比,有MBT的参与者患全因痴呆的调整风险比(HR)为1.47(95%可信区间[CI]: 1.10-1.96)。在仅饮酒的参与者中,与非MBA参与者相比,MBA参与者的全因痴呆调整HR为2.34 (95% CI: 2.05-2.68)。在吸烟和饮酒的参与者中,与非MBT和非MBA参与者相比,同时患有MBT和MBA的参与者(HR = 3.86, 95% CI: 2.78-5.35)、仅患有MBT的参与者(HR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.02-1.67)和仅患有MBA的参与者(HR = 2.46, 1.39-4.35)发生痴呆的风险显著更高。结论:被诊断为MBT、MBA或两者兼而有之的个体发生痴呆的可能性较高。这些发现强调了针对这些行为进行干预以减轻痴呆发病率的必要性。
