Background and objectives: Although recent research has consistently shown that psychological resilience is positively associated with cognitive function among older adults, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unclear. In this study, we assessed the potential mediating role of physical activity between psychological resilience and cognition using a longitudinal, population dataset of US older adults.

Research design and methods: Data were derived from three time points (2010-2012, 2014-2016, and 2018-2020) of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), with 8,296 older adults at baseline included (aged 65 or above). Cognitive function was measured by 35-point Telephone Interview Cognitive Screen (TICS). psychological resilience was measured using a previously established simplified resilience score.

Results: Psychological resilience at baseline was positively associated with physical activity at T2, 4 years later (β=0.08,SE=0.01,p<0.001). In addition, physical activity predicted an increase in cognitive function from T2 to T3 (4 years to 8 years later) (β=0.05,SE=0.07,p<0.001). Finally, a significant indirect effect of psychological resilience (T1) on cognitive function (T3) through physical activity from (T2) was observed (β = 0.01, 95% CI [0.01, 0.02], p <0.001).

Discussion and implications: Physical activity may function as a protective factor for the cognitive functioning of older adults. This association is partially mediated by enhanced physical activity.

Objectives

The association between specific types of malignancies and the subsequent risk of dementia remains unknown.

Design

A retrospective population-based cohort study based on data from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.

Setting and participants

We recruited 32,250 patients who survived malignancies and 322,500 controls between 1998 and 2011 and followed them up until the end of 2013.

Measurements

Diagnoses of dementia (including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), and unspecified dementia) was made during the follow-up period. Cox regression analyses were performed after adjusting for potential confounders. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to exclude patients with prodromal dementia.

Results

Cancer survivors were more likely to develop AD (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.38–2.06), unspecified dementia (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.07–1.32), and any dementia (HR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.16–1.37) compared with controls after adjusting for potential confounders. Importantly, cancers of the digestive and genitourinary organs seem to be associated with AD, unspecified dementia, and any dementia, whereas only malignant neoplasms of the brain are more likely to develop into VaD. Sensitivity analyses after exclusion of the first three or five years of observation and after exclusion of case enrollment before 2009 or 2007 showed consistent findings.

Conclusion

Cancer survivors are at higher risk of subsequent dementia. Different types of cancer survivors may contribute to variable risks of specific dementias. Further studies are necessary to investigate the underlying mechanisms in cancer survivors and patients with dementia.

Introduction

The rising prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia worldwide underscores the urgent need for effective interventions, particularly for managing neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as sleep disturbance. This review explores the emerging role of Dual Orexin Receptor Antagonists (DORA) in addressing sleep disturbance in patients with Alzheimer's disease dementia.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search identified four relevant publications between 2014 and 2024, detailing the use of DORA medications, including suvorexant and lemborexant, in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Results

Findings suggest that suvorexant may improve total sleep time (TST), wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE) in Alzheimer's patients with insomnia. Lemborexant demonstrated potential in improving circadian rhythm parameters, particularly in patients with irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD). Safety profiles of DORA medications appeared favorable, with mild to moderate adverse events reported. However, concerns over potential adverse events, such as falls, underscore the need for careful monitoring.

Conclusion

While the evidence suggests promise for DORA medications in addressing sleep disturbance in Alzheimer's disease, limitations in study populations and duration highlight the need for further investigation. Future clinical trials should aim for broader inclusion criteria, encompassing diverse dementia subtypes and severity levels, to enhance generalizability. Additionally, longer-term trials are essential to assess the sustained efficacy and safety of DORA interventions in this vulnerable population.
导言:阿尔茨海默病(AD)及相关痴呆症在全球的发病率不断上升,这凸显了对有效干预措施的迫切需求,尤其是在控制睡眠障碍等神经精神症状(NPS)方面。本综述探讨了双奥列克辛受体拮抗剂(DORA)在解决阿尔茨海默病痴呆症患者睡眠障碍方面的新作用:通过全面的文献检索,我们找到了2014年至2024年间的四篇相关文献,这些文献详细介绍了阿尔茨海默病患者使用DORA药物(包括suvorexant和lemborexant)的情况:研究结果表明,舒伐雷司坦可改善阿尔茨海默病患者的总睡眠时间(TST)、睡眠开始后的觉醒(WASO)和睡眠效率(SE)。伦博雷沙坦具有改善昼夜节律参数的潜力,特别是在睡眠-觉醒节律失调(ISWRD)患者中。DORA 药物的安全性似乎良好,报告的不良事件为轻度至中度。然而,对潜在不良事件(如跌倒)的担忧强调了仔细监测的必要性:虽然有证据表明 DORA 药物有望解决阿尔茨海默病患者的睡眠障碍问题,但研究人群和持续时间的局限性凸显了进一步研究的必要性。未来的临床试验应采用更广泛的纳入标准,包括不同的痴呆亚型和严重程度,以提高普适性。此外,还必须进行更长期的试验,以评估 DORA 干预措施对这一弱势群体的持续疗效和安全性。

Objectives

Family caregivers of older adults with severe dementia often experience anticipatory grief. We aimed to investigate the temporal association of caregiving stressors (older adults’ behavioral symptoms, and caregiver-older adult co-residence and emotional closeness) and caregivers’ anticipatory grief, and its mediation by positive and negative caregiving experiences.

Design

Prospective cohort.

Setting

Singapore.

Participants

About 169 family caregivers of older adults with severe dementia were surveyed every 4 months for 4 years (up to 13 surveys).

Measurements

We measured anticipatory grief using the Marwit Meuser Caregiver Grief Inventory-Short Form, negative caregiving experiences using the Caregiver Reaction Assessment scale, positive caregiving experiences using Gain in Alzheimer Care Instrument and behavioral symptoms using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory. We implemented a cross-lagged panel model to test mediation, a form of longitudinal path analysis.

Results

About 35% of the caregivers reported high anticipatory grief at least once during the study period. Older adults’ behavioral symptoms had a significant direct effect (Standardized coefficient [95% confidence interval]: 0.12 [0.04, 0.21]) on caregivers’ anticipatory grief. Negative experiences mediated the significant indirect effect of older adults’ behavioral symptoms (0.16 [0.06, 0.25]) and coresidence (0.16 [0.07, 0.25]) on caregivers’ anticipatory grief. Positive caregiving experiences did not mediate any path.

Conclusions

Findings indicate a temporal association between caregiving stressors and anticipatory grief, mediated by negative caregiving experiences. Routine screening for anticipatory grief, and interventions to address caregiver stressors and negative caregiving experiences may alleviate caregivers’ grief.
目的:患有严重痴呆症的老年人的家庭照顾者经常会经历预期性悲伤。我们旨在研究护理压力因素(老年人的行为症状、护理者与老年人的共同居住和情感亲密程度)与护理者预期性悲伤的时间关联,以及积极和消极护理经历对其的调节作用:设计:前瞻性队列研究:地点:新加坡:大约 169 名严重痴呆症老年人的家庭照顾者接受了每 4 个月一次的调查,为期 4 年(最多 13 次调查):我们使用 Marwit Meuser 照护者悲伤量表-简表测量预期悲伤,使用照护者反应评估量表测量负面照护经历,使用阿尔茨海默氏症照护增益量表测量正面照护经历,使用 Cohen-Mansfield 烦躁量表测量行为症状。我们采用了一个交叉滞后面板模型来检验中介作用,这是一种纵向路径分析:结果:约 35% 的照顾者在研究期间至少报告过一次高度预期悲伤。老年人的行为症状对照顾者的预期悲伤有显著的直接影响(标准化系数[95% 置信区间]:0.12 [0.04, 0.21])。老年人的行为症状(0.16 [0.06, 0.25])和同住(0.16 [0.07, 0.25])对照顾者的预期悲痛有明显的间接影响,而消极的照顾经历则起到了中介作用。积极的照护经历对任何路径都没有中介作用:研究结果表明,护理压力源与预期悲伤之间存在时间上的联系,而消极的护理经历则是其中的中介。对预期性悲伤进行常规筛查,并采取干预措施来解决照顾者的压力因素和消极的照顾经历可能会减轻照顾者的悲伤。
