    Abstract The mixed evidence of the association between high levels of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and the risk for cognitive impairment may be due to confounding of age across studies. We pooled and harmonized individual-level data (30,967 persons, age range 42-96 years) from five prospective cohorts to investigate by 1 year age increments to investigate whether or not there is change in slope describing the association of CVRF to a cognitive outcome (Digit Symbol Substitution Test; DSST). The CVRF included: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting glucose and body mass index. Linear and quadratic piecewise regression models were fit to the trajectory patterns of these slopes (betas). The pattern of yearly slope changes showed higher CVRF were associated with lower DSST, but associations attenuated toward zero as age increased for all but DBP where 1 year slopes for DBP changed direction from negative to positive from mid- to late-age. Age is not only a driver of cognitive decline-age also modifies the direction and strength of the association of cognitive function to CVRF and cohort age may be one reason why the evidence for CVRF-CD association is mixed.

    Abstract Depressive symptoms may either be a risk factor or prodromal to dementia. Investigating this association in midlife may help clarify the role of depression in cognitive aging. We aimed to identify trajectories in depressive symptoms in early to mid-life and related cognitive and brain outcomes in midlife. This study includes 3944 Black and White participants (ages 26-45 years at baseline) from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study with 20 years of follow-up. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale at five time points over 20 years. Growth mixture modeling (GMM) was used to identify depressive symptom trajectories. Participants completed a neuropsychological battery 20 years after baseline, including the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Rey-Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Stroop Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and category and letter fluency tests. A sub-sample of participants (n = 662) underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize gray matter volumes and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). We identified four classes of depressive symptom trajectories: a "declining" class (n = 286, 7.3%) with initially high symptoms and subsequent decline, a class with consistently high symptoms ("steady high"; n = 264, 6.7%), a class with late increases in symptoms ("increasing"; n = 277, 7%), and a class with consistently low symptoms ("steady low"; n = 3117, 79.0%). The steady high and the increasing classes had poorer performance on all cognitive tests, while the declining class had poorer performance on the DSST, verbal fluency, and MoCA. Compared to the steady low symptom class, the steady high class had lower volumes in the entorhinal cortex (β: -180.80, 95% CI: -336.69 to -24.91) and the amygdala (β: -40.97, 95% CI: -74.09 to -7.85), the increasing class had more WMHs (β: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.89), and the declining class was not significantly different in any brain measures. Trajectories in depressive symptoms in young to mid-adulthood show distinct cognitive and brain phenotypes in midlife. Steady high depressive symptoms may represent a group that is at risk for dementia, whereas increasing symptoms in midlife may be associated with white matter damage.

    Abstract Over the past several decades, a worldwide demographic transition has led to an increasing number of older adults with chronic neurological conditions. These conditions, which have a profound effect on the cognitive function and physical ability of older adults, also have a long preclinical phase. This feature provides a unique opportunity to implement preventive measures for high-risk groups and the population as a whole, and therefore to reduce the burden of neurological diseases. The concept of brain health has emerged as the overarching theme to define overall brain function independently of underlying pathophysiological processes. We review the concept of brain health from the ageing and preventive care perspectives, discuss the mechanisms underpinning ageing and brain ageing, highlight the interplay of various forces resulting in deviation from brain health towards brain disease, and provide an overview of strategies to promote brain health with a life-course approach.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive disorder associated with an adverse cardiometabolic profile early in life. Increasing evidence links cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension, to accelerated cognitive aging. However, less is known about PCOS and its relationship to brain health, particularly at midlife. Our goal was to investigate possible associations between PCOS and midlife cognitive function and brain MRI findings in an ongoing prospective study.
    Methods: We used data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, a geographically diverse prospective cohort study of individuals who were 18-30 years at baseline (1985-1986) and followed for 30 years. We identified women with PCOS from an ancillary study (CARDIA Women's study (CWS); n = 1,163) as those with elevated androgen levels and/or hirsutism in conjunction with symptoms of oligomenorrhea. At year 30, participants completed cognitive testing, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) (verbal learning and memory), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (processing speed and executive function), Stroop test (attention and cognitive control), and category and letter fluency tests (semantics and attention). A subset completed brain MRI to assess brain structure and white matter integrity. Multivariable linear regression models estimated the association between PCOS and outcomes, adjusting for age, race, education, and study center.
    Results: Of the 1163 women in CWS, 907 completed cognitive testing, and of these, 66 (7.1%) met criteria for PCOS (age 54.7 years). Women with and without PCOS were similar for age, BMI, smoking/drinking status, and income. At year 30, participants with PCOS performed lower (mean z score; 95% CI) on Stroop (-0.323 (-0.69 to -7.37);
    Discussion: Our results suggest that women with PCOS have lower cognitive performance and lower white matter integrity at midlife. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine potential mechanistic pathways including potential modifiable factors.
