Sex- and age-dependent associations between waist-to-hip ratio and cognitive impairment: a cross-sectional study of rural adults aged 40 years and older in northwestern China

Simeng Cui, Yu Zhang, Qiqi Qiang, Ziyu Liu, Peijie Liu, Liangjun Dang, Jin Wang, Wenhui Lu, Kang Huo, Yu Jiang, Chen Chen, Ling Gao, Shan Wei, Junlong Feng, Suixia Cao, Suhang Shang, Qiumin Qu, Meng Zhang

Background Obesity is a modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment; however, body mass index fails to capture fat distribution. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), reflecting central adiposity, may better characterize obesity-related differences in cognitive impairment. Nevertheless, whether the association between WHR and cognitive impairment varies by sex and age remains unclear. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,792 adults aged ≥40 years from rural China. Cognitive impairment was defined using education-a …

Reduced Serum PON1 Lactonase Activity Is Associated with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mixed Dementia

Raffaella Riccetti, Alessandro Trentini, Gianmarco Mola, Gloria Brombo, Dario Francesco di Paola, Massimiliano Castellazzi, Raffaella Candeloro, Maria Cristina Manfrinato, Giovanni Zuliani, Carlo Cervellati

High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated paraoxonase-1 (PON1) contributes substantially to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions of HDL. Impairment of these protective properties has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia, particularly those involving neurovascular dysregulation. In the present study, we investigated for the first time the potential involvement of the putative physiological lactonase activity of PON1 in serum samples from a large cohort of older adults …

MicroRNA Signature in Plasma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Frontotemporal Dementia

Evelyne Minucchi, Francesca Dragoni, Rosalinda Di Gerlando, Gaia Pavanello, Matteo Cotta Ramusino, Alfredo Costa, Stella Gagliardi

Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease that shares numerous clinical features with other forms of dementia. In this context, non-coding RNAs, specifically microRNAs (miRNAs), represent a promising tool for differential diagnosis. Since these miRNAs can be isolated from circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in peripheral blood, they provide a direct insight into FTD-specific molecular processes. Consequently, while EV-contained miRNAs hold potential as disease-specific biomarkers …

Design and Efficacy of Localized Non-Pharmacological Cognitive Materials: A Participatory Card-Game Intervention for Older Adults With Dementia in Taiwan

Shyh-Bao Chiang, Fang-Suey Lin, Jung-Ying Hou

Non-pharmacological interventions are widely recognised as essential components of dementia care. However, many cognitive activities lack cultural relevance and are difficult to integrate into everyday care practice. Design-driven approaches that emphasise cultural localisation and feasibility may offer an alternative pathway for meaningful engagement. To address this, this study employed a qualitative, practice-based design to develop and evaluate a culturally localised cognitive card-game intervention for older a …

Handedness Influences Subjective Memory Ratings but not Objective Memory Performance in Older Adults

Annukka K. Lindell

Handedness affects cognitive processing strengths. Consistent with the predominant right hemisphere motor control of the left hand, left-handed older adults have superior immediate and delayed visuospatial memory in comparison with right-handers. Investigations of handedness effects on verbal memory in older adults are, however, scarce and the findings inconsistent. The present study thus examined whether left-handed, right-handed and ambidextrous older adults differ in their subjective and objective verbal memory …

Determinants of pre-interaction swift trust and long-term adoption of care robots: the role of mind attribution and perceived similarity in eldercare robotics

Mahed Maddah, Shirin Hasavari, Shadi Esnaashari, Pouyan Esmaeilzadeh

Purpose The global eldercare crisis, driven by population aging and caregiver shortages, has accelerated interest in care companion robots. However, their integration into care settings depends partly on whether older adults are willing to trust unfamiliar robotic agents. Existing research has examined robot design, functionality and cultural acceptance, but has not fully integrated mind attribution and perceived relational alignment in explaining prospective trust and adoption intentions. This study therefore appl …
