Epidemiology of Ischemic Strokes and Transient Ischemic Attacks in the Oldest Old (P2.308)
Conclusion: Most patients 85-years or older, in our study, were women. More than half of the strokes were embolic. A substantial number of patients received thrombolysis and almost a third of patients were discharged to acute rehabilitation. Older patients benefit from aggressive stroke management and have potential for meaningful recovery. Age should not be a major limiting factor in the treatment of stroke in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Garcia Santibanez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Skliut has nothing to disclose.

Relationship between dyslipidemia and carotid plaques in a high‐stroke‐risk population in Shandong Province, China
ConclusionThese findings indicate that TG was an independent risk factor for carotid plaques in high‐risk population for stroke, whereas LDL‐C and TC were not associated with the appearance of carotid plaques independently. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between different dyslipidemia with carotid plaque in high‐stroke‐risk populations in China. Assessing this relationship will not only help to elucidate the pathophysiological association between elevated lipoproteins and carotid intimae aetherogenisis but also to refine the stroke screening and prevention guidelines in China.

Modifiable Lifestyle Factors and Cognitive Function in Older People: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Conclusions: Lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, sleep, and social activity appear to be associated with cognitive function among older people. Physical activity and appropriate durations of sleep and conversation are important for cognitive function. Introduction Dementia is a major public health issue worldwide, with a serious burden for patients, caregivers, and society, as well as substantial economic impacts (1). Although the prevalence of late-life cognitive impairment and dementia are expected to increase in future, effective disease-modifying treatments are currently unavailable. Therefore, unders...

U.S. Task Force Reconsiders Daily Low-Dose Aspirin Use for Preventing Heart Attacks in Adults Over 60
Older adults without heart disease shouldn’t take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday. Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven’t had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance. For the first time, the panel said there may be a small benefit for adults in their 40s who have no bleeding risks. For those in their 50s, the panel softened advice and said evidence of benefit is less clear....

Can DIY and gardening help you live longer?
Conclusion This study found that in a population-based sample of older adults (aged 60), high levels of non-exercise physical activity, or ‘an active daily life’ was associated with better levels of cardiovascular risk factors. When followed over time, it was found an active daily life was associated with approximately 30% reduced risk of both a cardiovascular event (stroke, angina, heart attack) and death from any cause. These associations were seen after adjusting for regular exercise, and for a number of other factors that could explain the association seen (confounders). This study was a cross-sectional and cohort...

The accuracy of prehospital diagnosis of acute cerebrovascular accidents: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency physicians appear to be sensitive in diagnosing CVAs but their overall accuracy does not seem high. They tend to overuse the diagnosis of TIA. Constant education and adoption of stroke screening scales may be beneficial for emergency care systems based both on physicians and on paramedics. PMID: 26170845 [PubMed]

Quality of anticoagulation control among patients with atrial fibrillation: An experience of a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia
Conclusion Quality of anticoagulation in patients with AF receiving medical care in a tertiary care hospital was suboptimal, with nearly 40% of the time spent outside the therapeutic range. Methods to improve anticoagulation control among patients with AF should be implemented.

Periodontal Disease Is Associated With Increased Risk of Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: Periodontal disease is significantly and positively correlated with increased risk of hypertension in Chinese population, and exact mechanisms of this association should be explored in future. Introduction Periodontal disease is a complex polymicrobial inflammation, including gingivitis and periodontitis. According to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, the prevalence of severe chronic periodontitis in 2015 has reached 616 million (Kassebaum et al., 2017). In China, the periodontal disease standardized DALYs rate has risen from 24.7 in 1990 to 25.7 in 2013 according to the data from 2013 GBD ...

Depressive symptoms and cardiovascular diseases in the adult Polish population. Results of the NATPOL2011 study.
CONCLUSIONS: Depressive symptoms were more prevalent in women compared to men, and they were significantly and inde-pendently associated with age and primary education level in both sexes, and with a history of stroke in women. PMID: 30406941 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
