Impact of the Ageing Population on the Burden of Stroke: The Dijon Stroke Registry
Conclusions: Ageing and growth of the population led to a rise in the absolute number of strokes, especially in the elderly, that is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. Improved stroke care was accompanied with an increase in stroke survivors that contributed to a rise in recurrent events. Urgent action is needed to meet this epidemiological challenge.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:78 –85 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Conscientiousness Is Associated with Lower Risk of Dementia among Black and White Older Adults
Conclusions: Higher Conscientiousness is associated with lower dementia risk, even among diverse populations. Higher Conscientiousness may be protective, or lower Conscientiousness may be an early symptom of neurodegenerative disease.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:86 –92 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Descriptive Epidemiology: The Origin of Geographic Difference
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) epidemiology has rapidly developed in the last 30 years alongside the evolving changes in concepts in the field of clinical ALS and also due to the recent proposals of new classification system for motor neuron diseases. Many of these changes in the clinical scenario have been determined through the results of ALS population-based studies conducted in the last 20 years primarily in Europe. All the evidences converge to show that ALS risk is different across continents and ethnicities. In a European registry consortium named EURALS, ALS incident cases were drawn from a source population c...

Sex Differences in the Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Cognitive Impairment No Dementia among the Elderly in a Rural Area of Northern China: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: These findings suggest that it is crucial to address the secondary prevention of stroke and to consider the psychological status among the elderly with low educational attainment in order to reduce the burden of CIND in China.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:25 –31 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Cognitive Function and Impairment in Older, Rural South African Adults: Evidence from “Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in Rural South Africa”
Conclusions: The prevalence of cognitive impairment increased with age and is comparable to rates of dementia reported in other sub-Saharan African countries. Age and sex differences in cognitive function scores were minimized as education increased, potentially reflecting the power of even poor-quality education to improve cognitive reserve.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:32 –40 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Multiple Sclerosis Incidence and Prevalence Trends in the Province of Padua, Northeast Italy, 1965 –2018
Conclusions: MS incidence and prevalence further and significantly increased in the period 2011 –2015. Our 1965–2015 data indicate a real increased risk of MS and stress a role of exogenous factors in MS susceptibility.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:41 –46 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Saccular Intracranial Aneurysms in Children When Both Parents Are Sporadic or Familial Carriers of Saccular Intracranial Aneurysms
Conclusions: Couples concordant for IA disease are uncommon but not exceedingly rare. Biparental sporadic exposure does not seem to increase the risk of a clinically diagnosed IA disease or SAH in the offspring. IAs were common in the children with biparental sporadic-familial exposure.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:47 –54 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Ascertainment of Dementia Cases in the Spanish European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Murcia Cohort
Conclusion: Ascertainment of incident dementia in the EPIC-Murcia cohort study was feasible using information from medical records. This systematic 2-step validation protocol is proposed as a feasible way to ascertain dementia in cohort studies originally designed for other endpoints.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:63 –73 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Global and Regional Trends of Multiple Sclerosis Disability-Adjusted Life Years Rates: A 25-Year Assessment
Conclusion: In general, our findings revealed a global downward trend in the MS DALY rate. We also conclude that MS DALY rates are decreasing both in developed and developing countries, with a steeper slope in the developed world.Neuroepidemiology 2019;52:17 –24 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)
