要旨

Objective:

The association between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), an indicator of microvascular damage on MRI, and incident dementia (ID) remains inconclusive. We aim to investigate the interplay of CMB presence, number, and location with ID in a large community-based elderly cohort.

Methods:

The study included 1532 dementia-free participants (aged ≥ 65 years) derived from baseline examinations (2012-2013) of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study (ARIC-NCS). The ID cases were diagnosed at visits 6 (2016-2017), 7 (2018-2019), and 8 (2019-2020). Cox proportional-hazards models were deployed to assess the association of CMB presence, number, and location with ID.

Results:

Over a nine-year follow-up (median = 8.1 years), 390 participants developed ID. Microbleed (MB) presence was related to an increased ID risk (HR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.02-1.51). A stronger association was observed in those with mixed (lobar+subcortical) MBs (HR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.10-2.30). Compared to participants without MBs, those with ≥ 2 CMBs in any MBs, any lobar MBs, and any subcortical MBs were associated with 57%, 174%, and 74% higher ID risks. Furthermore, those with a pattern of only lobar MBs or superficial siderosis had the highest ID risk (HR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.26-2.65).

Interpretation:

In this large community-based elderly cohort, we identified that the presence of MBs or a high MB count (i.e., ≥ 2), with some specificity for location, was independently related to an increased ID risk over a nine-year follow-up.

Dementia

Dementia

Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Prevalence and Incidence

Prevalence and Incidence

In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report

Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report

An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...

Relative Risk

Relative Risk

Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Fixed Action Patterns

Fixed Action Patterns

A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
