Child abuse is related to inflammation in mid-life women: Role of obesity.
CONCLUSION: A history of childhood abuse and neglect retrospectively reported is related to overall elevated inflammation in mid-life women, perhaps through obesity. A history of some types of abuse and neglect (emotional) may be related to change in inflammation, independent of simultaneously measured change in BMI.

Tea Consumption and Depressive Symptoms in Older People in Rural China
ConclusionsDaily tea consumption is associated with a lower likelihood of depressive symptoms in Chinese older people living in a rural community. The association appears to be independent of cerebrovascular disease and atherosclerosis.

Depressive symptoms predict cognitive decline and dementia in older people independently of cerebral white matter changes: the LADIS study
Conclusions DS are associated with an increase risk of cognitive decline, independent of the effect of WMC, probably due to an additive or synergistic effect. In this context, DS probably represent a subtle ongoing organic dysfunction

Tobacco use in older adults in Ghana: sociodemographic characteristics, health risks and subjective wellbeing
Conclusions: Tobacco use among older adults in Ghana was associated with older men living in rural locations, chronic ill-health and reduced life satisfaction. A high proportion of older adults have stopped using tobacco, demonstrating the possibilities for effective public health interventions. Health risk reduction strategies through targeted anti-smoking health campaigns, improvement in access to health and social protection (such as health insurance) will reduce health risks among older persons who use tobacco.

Healthy Brain Aging and the Multiple Reserve Hypothesis
Those of us in the medical professions are trained since early years to be concerned about the many forms and mechanisms of disease. We strive to be aggressive in our diagnosis and treatment of disease and in our research on disease mechanisms, known as pathogenesis. Often lost in our disease focused frame of mind is appreciation for the generation and maintenance of health, known as salutogenesis. The absence of disease is not the same as the presence of health, especially with aging. Many older people do not have major illnesses, but remain limited in their functional capacities. It is vital for persons of all ages, as w...

In men and women with COPD the presence of urinary incontinence is associated with poorer quality of life
Commentary on: Hrisanfow E, Hägglund D. Impact of cough and urinary incontinence on quality of life in women and men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:97–105. Implications for practice and research The combination of coughing, as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and urinary incontinence (UI), can adversely affect quality of life. Healthcare providers must actively screen for UI in patients who smoke, have a chronic cough and/or who are diagnosed with COPD, as early treatment may improve quality of life. Context It is estimated that worldwide, over 200 milli...

Angiogenesis inhibition and depression in older men.
Conclusion: Serum endostatin is associated with depression in older men. It remains to be established whether correction of this imbalance is feasible and could decrease the prevalence of depression in later life. PMID: 24331740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Nonlinear longitudinal trajectories of cholesterol and neuropsychological function.
Conclusions: Overall, results indicate nonlinear longitudinal relations of total cholesterol to cognitive decline. Whereas higher cholesterol levels were associated with cognitive decline in the middle-aged or young-old, lower cholesterol levels were related to cognitive decline among old-old participants.

Agreement between self-reported and general practitioner-reported chronic conditions among multimorbid patients in primary care - results of the MultiCare cohort study
Conclusions: For multimorbidity research, the knowledge of diseases with high disagreement levels between the patients' perceived illnesses and their physicians' reports is important. The analysis shows that different patient characteristics have an impact on the agreement. Findings from this study should be included in the development of clinical guidelines for multimorbidity aiming to optimize health care. Further research is needed to identify more reasons for disagreement and their consequences in health care.Trial registration: ISRCTN89818205.

Prevalence of Memory Disorders in Ambulatory Patients Aged ≥70 Years With Chronic Heart Failure (from the EFICARE Study)
The aim of this multicenter observational study conducted in France was to determine the prevalence of memory impairment in ambulatory patients aged ≥70 years with chronic heart failure (HF). Two hundred ninety-one cardiologists recruited 912 ambulatory patients with HF (mean age 79.2 ± 5.8 years) from January to November 2009. Memory was evaluated by the delayed-recall Memory Impairment Screen (MIS-D). Memory impairment was defined as MIS-D score ≤6 and severe memory impairment as MIS-D score ≤4. HF was diagnosed 4.4 ± 4.8 years earlier and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 43.6 ± 12.0%. Memory impai...

Perioperative selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor administration is a marker of poor outcomes after surgery
Commentary on: Auerbach AD, Vittinghoff E, Maselli J, et al.. Perioperative use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and risks for adverse outcomes of surgery. JAMA Intern Med 2013;173:1075–81. Context With a lifetime prevalence of 6–11%, depression is a common comorbidity in surgical patients. Owing to their high efficacy and safety, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants.1 Some studies suggest that SSRIs may increase surgical bleeding. However, SSRI discontinuation may exacerbate psychiatric illness or precipitate withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, ...

Linking social capital and mortality in the elderly: A Swedish national cohort study.
CONCLUSION: There are associations between low linking social capital and mortality from chronic disorders and suicide in the elderly population. Community support for elderly people living in neighborhoods with low levels of linking social capital may need to be strengthened. PMID: 24632181 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
