Prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in community-dwelling Chinese populations aged over 55?years: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate phase between normal cognitive ageing and overt dementia, with amnesic MCI (aMCI) being the dominant subtype. This study aims to synthesise the prevalence results of MCI and aMCI in community-dwelling populations in China through a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Methods

The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. English and Chinese studies published before 1 March 2020 were searched from ten electronic bibliographic databases. Two reviewers screened for relevance of the studies against the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed the quality of the included studies using the Risk of Bias Tool independently. A random-effect model was adopted to estimate the prevalence of MCI and aMCI, followed by sub-group analyses and meta-regression. Sensitivity and publication bias tests were performed to verify the robustness of the meta-analyses.

Results

A total of 41 studies with 112,632 participants were included in the meta-analyses. The Chinese community-dwelling populations over 55?years old had a pooled prevalence of 12.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 10.6, 14.2%] for MCI and 10.9% [95% CI, 7.7, 15.4%] for aMCI, respectively. The prevalence of MCI increased with age. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic tool (DSM-IV) generated the highest MCI prevalence (13.5%), followed by the Petersen criteria (12.9%), and the National Institute on Aging Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) criteria (10.3%). Women, rural residents, and those who lived alone and had low levels of education had higher MCI prevalence than others.

Conclusion

Higher MCI prevalence was identified in community-dwelling older adult populations in China compared with some other countries, possibly due to more broadened criteria being adopted for confirming the diagnosis. The study shows that aMCI accounts for 66.5% of MCI, which is consistent with findings of studies undertaken elsewhere.

Project description:Background Frailty can be operationalized based on the accumulation of deficits using a frailty index (FI) and is associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Here, we aim to compare validity of a FI from laboratory data with that of the common clinical FI for prediction of mortality in adults aged 55 + years, also examine whether combined FI could improve identification of adults aged 55 + years at increased risk of death. Methods Data for this analysis were obtained from the Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging that involved 1,257 community-dwelling Chinese people, aged 55 + years at baseline. The main outcome measure was 5-year mortality. An FI-self-report based on 30 self-reported health-related data was constructed. An FI-lab was developed using laboratory data, in addition to pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, body mass index (BMI) and waist. A combined FI comprised all items from each FI. Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate the risk of each FI on death. The area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were used to compare the discriminative performance of each FI. Results Of 1257 participants, 155 died and 156 lost at the end of the 5-year follow-up. The mean FI-self-report score was 0.11 ± 0.10, the FI-lab score was 0.33 ± 0.14 and FI-combined score was 0.19 ± 0.09. Higher frailty level defined by each FI was associated with higher risk of death. After adjustment for age and sex, Cox proportional hazards models showed that the higher scores of frailty were associated with a higher risk of mortality for each FI, the hazard ratios for the FI-self-report and FI-lab and FI-combined were 1.04 (1.03 to 1.05) and 1.02 (1.01 to 1.03) and 1.05 (1.04 to 1.07), respectively. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.79 (0.77–0.82) for the FI-self-report, 0.77(0.75–0.80) for the FI-lab and 0.81(0.78–0.82) for FI-combined. Conclusions A FI from laboratory data can stratify older adults at increased risk of death alone and in combination with FI based on self-report data. Assessment in clinical settings of creating an FI using routine collected laboratory data needs to be further developed.

Project description:ImportanceGiven the rapidly rising dementia incidence, management of modifiable risk factors, such as hearing loss, is vital. Multiple studies have demonstrated an improvement of cognitive functioning in older adults with severe hearing loss after cochlear implantation; however, few of these studies, to the authors' knowledge, specifically analyzed participants achieving poor cognitive results preoperatively.ObjectiveTo evaluate the cognitive functioning of older adults with severe hearing loss at risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) before and after cochlear implantation.Design, setting, and participantsThis prospective, longitudinal cohort study performed at a single center reports data obtained over a 6-year period (April 2015 to September 2021) of an ongoing prospective, longitudinal cohort study on cochlear implant outcomes in older adults. A consecutive sample of older adults with severe hearing loss eligible for cochlear implantation was included. All participants obtained a Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status for hearing-impaired patients (RBANS-H) total score indicative of MCI preoperatively. Participants were assessed before cochlear implant activation and 12 months after cochlear implant activation.InterventionThe intervention consisted of cochlear implantation.Main outcome and measureThe primary outcome measure was cognition, measured by the RBANS-H.ResultsA total of 21 older adult cochlear implant candidates were included in the analysis (mean [SD] age, 72 [9] years; 13 [62%] men). Cochlear implantation was associated with an improvement of overall cognitive functioning 12 months after activation (median [IQR] percentile, 5 [2-8] vs 12 [7-19]; difference, 7 [95% CI, 2-12]). Eight participants (38%) surpassed the MCI cutoff (16th percentile) postoperatively, while the overall median cognitive score remained under this cutoff. In addition, participants' speech recognition in noise improved, with a lower score indicating improvement (mean [SD] score, +17.16 [5.45] vs +5.67 [6.3]; difference, -11.49 [95% CI, -14.26 to -8.72]), after cochlear implant activation. Improvement of speech recognition in noise was positively associated with improvement in cognitive functioning (rs, -0.48 [95% CI, -0.69 to -0.19]). Years of education, sex, RBANS-H version, and symptoms of depression and anxiety were not related to the evolution in RBANS-H scores.Conclusions and relevanceIn this prospective, longitudinal cohort study, cognitive functioning and speech perception in noise showed a clinically meaningful improvement 12 months after cochlear implant activation in older adults with severe hearing loss at risk for MCI, suggesting that cochlear implantation is not contraindicated in cochlear implant candidates with cognitive decline and should be considered after multidisciplinary evaluation.

Project description:Introduction:Sedentary behavior (SB) is highly prevalent among older adults, with more than 25% engaging in 6 hours or more of SB daily. SB has been associated with several cardiometabolic biomarkers in younger adults; however, there is a paucity of research in older populations. This study examined associations between patterns of SB and cardiometabolic biomarkers in community-dwelling adults aged 55 years and older. Methods:Data were drawn from a convenience sample of 54 community-dwelling individuals (12 males, 42 females; mean age?=?72.6?±?6.8 years, range?=?56-89 years). Cardiometabolic biomarkers assessed included systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index, waist circumference, and fasting blood glucose and cholesterol parameters. SB was assessed via accelerometry over a 7-day period, and measures included daily time in SB, number and length of sedentary bouts, the number and length of breaks between sedentary bouts, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and light physical activity (LPA). Associations between the SB measures and each cardiometabolic risk factor were examined using separate stepwise multiple regression models, controlling for sex, MVPA, and accelerometer wear time. Isotemporal substitution models were used to examine the change in cardiometabolic outcomes when SB is replaced by an equal duration of either LPA or MVPA. Results:Adjusted regression analyses showed that daily sedentary time was positively associated with DBP (??=?0.052, ?R 2?=?0.112, p = 0.022) and inversely associated with HDL cholesterol (??=?-0.111, ?R 2?=?0.121, p = 0.039). Sedentary bout length was also associated with DBP and HDL cholesterol (??=?0.575, ?R 2?=?0.152, p?=?0.007; ??=?-1.529, ?R 2?=?0.196, p = 0.007, respectively). Replacement of 10 minutes of SB a day with LPA was associated with improved DBP and HDL cholesterol (p ? 0.05). No other significant associations (p ? 0.05) were found. Conclusion:Sitting for prolonged periods of time without interruption is unfavorably associated with DBP and HDL cholesterol. Prospective studies should identify causal relationships and observe specific changes in cardiometabolic profiles in older populations.
