Ultra-processed food intake, cognitive function, and dementia risk: A cross-sectional study of middle-aged and older Australian adults
Introduction: Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption is linked to over 30 adverse health outcomes, including several risk factors for dementia such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. We aimed to examine the association of UPF […]
Association of serum biomarkers for lipid and amino acid metabolism with cognition in adolescents
Background: We investigated the associations of serum biomarkers for lipid and amino acid metabolism with cognition in adolescents. Methods: Altogether 276 adolescents aged 15-16 years were studied. Serum biomarkers for lipid and amino acid metabolism were […]
Trajectory of Neurocognitive Functioning in Children Treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ALL Consortium Study 16-001
Background: Children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of neurocognitive deficits in attention-concentration, working memory, executive function, and psychomotor speed. Objectives: This study evaluated longitudinal trajectories and medical/demographic associations with neurocognitive outcomes during […]
Evaluating Physical Frailty as a Marker of Cognitive Health in Older Adults without Dementia
Physical frailty is associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults, including cognitive decline; however, the underlying biological and pathophysiological mechanisms linking frailty to neuropathological biomarkers remain underexplored, particularly in older adults without dementia. This study […]
The proportion of plant-based food consumption during midlife and cognitive health in later life in Australian women: data from the Women’s Healthy Ageing Project (WHAP)
Purpose: Plant-based food (PBF) is well-known for its benefits for physical health; however, its impacts on brain health are less well understood, especially in ageing women. This study aimed to examine the association between different proportions […]
