    Abstract From an epidemiological perspective, in order to increase the level of evidence, it is necessary to refer to data from longitudinal studies to validate the temporal relationship between exposure (e.g. the behavior or modifying factor) and the disease. Findings from such studies are useful for defining risk factors and laying the groundwork for proposing interventions for prevention. This step is crucial in order to define the periods (life-course approach) and groups at risk, which will then become the targets of interventions designed to modify behaviors or lifestyle. Specifying the underlying mechanisms of these risk factors is one of the objectives of etiological epidemiology which focuses on the origin of diseases but is not essential for a more pragmatic interventional approach. These questions are essential for dementia prevention and are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, timing interventions is a major problem even if we identify primary prevention pathways in dementia. Another important concern for epidemiologists is the need to make projections to estimate the number of dementia cases in the next decades considering different intervention scenarios. These models require adequate descriptive indicators of dementia, demography and mortality and precise estimations of the impact of potential interventions in terms of delaying disease onset for instance.

    Abstract The Cognitive Quotient (QuoCo) classification algorithm monitoring decline on age- and education-adjusted Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)-derived cognitive charts has proved superior to the conventionally-used cut-off for identifying incident dementia; however, it remains to be tested in different settings. Data were drawn from the Three-City Cohort to 1) assess the screening accuracy of the QuoCo, and 2) compare its performance to that of serial MMSE tests applying different cut-offs. For the QuoCo, sensitivity was 74.2 (95% CI: 71.4-76.8) and specificity 84.1 (83.6-84.7) and for the MMSE < 24, 64.1 (61.1-67.0) and 94.8 (94.4-95.1), respectively; whereas overall accuracy and sensitivity was highest for MMSE cut-offs <25 and <26. User-friendly charts for mapping cognitive trajectories over visits with an alert for potentially 'abnormal' decline can be of practical use and encourage regular monitoring in primary care where the <24 cut-off is still widely used despite its poor sensitivity.

    Abstract Higher coffee consumption has been associated with reduced dementia risk, yet with inconsistencies across studies. CYP1A2 polymorphisms, which affects caffeine metabolism, may modulate the association between coffee and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We included 5964 participants of the Three-City Study (mean age 74 years-old), free of dementia at baseline when they reported their daily coffee consumption, with available genome-wide genotyping and followed for dementia over a median of 9.0 (range 0.8-18.7) years. In Cox proportional-hazards models, the relationship between coffee consumption and dementia risk was modified by CYP1A2 polymorphism at rs762551 (p for interaction = 0.034). In multivariable-adjusted models, coffee intake was linearly associated with a decreased risk of dementia among carriers of the C allele only ("slower caffeine metabolizers"; HR for 1-cup increased [95% CI] 0.90 [0.83-0.97]), while in non-carriers ("faster caffeine metabolizers"), there was no significant association but a J-shaped trend toward a decrease in dementia risk up to 3 cups/day and increased risk beyond. Thus, compared to null intake, drinking ≥ 4 cups of coffee daily was associated with a reduced dementia risk in slower but not faster metabolizers (HR [95% CI] for ≥ 4 vs. 0 cup/day = 0.45 [0.25-0.80] and 1.32 [0.89-1.96], respectively). Results were similar when studying AD and another CYP1A2 candidate polymorphism (rs2472304), but no interaction was found with CYP1A2 rs2472297 or rs2470893. In this cohort, a linear association of coffee intake to lower dementia risk was apparent only among carriers of CYP1A2 polymorphisms predisposing to slower caffeine metabolism.

    Abstract The progression of dementia prevalence over the years and the lack of efficient treatments to stop or reverse the cognitive decline make dementia a major public health challenge in the developed world. Identifying people at high risk of developing dementia could improve the treatment of these patients and help select the target population for preventive clinical trials. We used joint modeling to build a dynamic prediction tool of dementia based on the change over time of 2 neurocognitive tests (the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Isaacs Set Tests) as well as an autonomy scale (the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living). The model was estimated with data from the French cohort Personnes Agées QUID (1988-2015) and validated both by cross-validation and externally with data from the French Three City cohort (1999-2018). We evaluated its predictive abilities through area under the receiver operating characteristics curve and Brier score, accounting for right censoring and competing risk of death, and obtained an average area under the curve value of 0.95 for the risk of dementia in the next 5 or 10 years. This tool is able to discriminate a high-risk group of people from the rest of the population. This could be of help in clinical practice and research.

    Abstract Background: Sleep disturbances are common in elderly and occur frequently in dementia. The impact of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), insomnia complaints, sleep quality, and hypnotics on the risk of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer disease (AD), and dementia with vascular component (DVC) remains unclear, as does the association between sleep profile and plasma β-amyloid levels.
    Methods: Analyses were carried out on 6851 participants aged 65 years and over randomly recruited from three French cities and free of dementia at baseline. A structured interview and self-questionnaire assessed sleep complaints (EDS, insomnia complaints, sleep quality) and medications at baseline. Incident cases of dementia were diagnosed systematically over a 12-year period. Multivariate Cox models were used to estimate the risk of dementia associated with the sleep complaints considered individually and globally. Plasma β-amyloid levels were measured by an xMAP-based assay technology in 984 subjects.
    Results: After adjustment for socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle, APOE-ε4, cardiovascular factors, and depressive status, EDS had a higher risk of all-cause dementia (HR = 1.21; 95%CI = [1.01-1.46]) and DVC (HR = 1.58; 95%CI = [1.07-2.32]) but not AD. Persistent use of hypnotics increased the risk for all-cause dementia, specifically AD (HR = 1.28; 95%CI = [1.04-1.58]), but not DVC. No association was found for insomnia complaints and sleep quality taken as individual factors or combined with EDS on the risk of dementia. No association was found between β-amyloid, sleep complaints, and incident dementia.
    Conclusions: The results suggest a deleterious role of EDS and hypnotics on dementia. Further studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms involved in these associations and whether its management can prevent the risk of dementia.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Neuropsychological testing plays a key role in various clinical contexts. Even though a substantial number of adults suffer neurological disorders such as early-onset dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury or multiple sclerosis, most normative data do not include persons below 65. The aim of this study was to produce updated norms for the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test, the Trail Making Test, verbal fluency tasks and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test for middle-aged and older adults.
    Methods: The sample consisted of 51 879 participants aged 45-70 years from the CONSTANCES study. Norms are presented in percentiles stratified on age, education and gender.
    Results: The results illustrated the effect of age in all tests considered. For tests involving speed processing, the impact of age was observed including in tight age range categories (5 years). The results also showed the well-known effect of education and an effect of gender in tests involving verbal memory and speed processing.
    Conclusions: The norms provided allow the variability of the cognitive performances of middle-aged to older populations to be understood, with a high precision in age categories. The tests considered are broadly used in neuropsychological practice and should be helpful in a variety of clinical contexts.

    Abstract Cognitive impairment is a major component of age-related dementing diseases and it has been suggested that it could share the same pathological pathways with neurodegenerative processes and cerebrovascular lesions. The free radical theory of aging could be one of these pathways. Observational studies of relationships between cognitive impairment and antioxidant status are based on the evaluation of dietary intake or on the levels of carotenoids, selenium and vitamins A, C and E in plasma. More convincing results were obtained on vitamin C and carotenoids. Despite some limitations, the comparison between results obtained in various populations is becoming increasingly informative and these studies argue for a protective effect of antioxidants on cognitive performance.
