Abstract

The relationship between metabolic syndrome and its individual components, leptin levels and the severity of cognitive impairment in patients of different age with dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DE) and metabolic syndrome (MS) was studied. There were 503 patients aged 45-89 years with DE enrolled into the study, who were divided into two groups: patients without MS (n=198) and with MS (n=305). All patients were divided into three age subgroups. All patients underwent clinical-neurological examination, laboratory tests, high resolution B-mode ultrasound examination, MRI. Cognitive functions were assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). In middle age and elderly patients a significant inverse relationship between the total score of MMSE and the level of blood pressure, blood glucose level was found. A direct significant correlation between blood pressure level and a total score of MMSE was revealed in senile patients. The duration of hypertension significantly influenced on the severity of cognitive impairment in patients of middle and old age. The results obtained indicate a definite relationship between the level of leptin in the blood of patients with MS and the state of their cognitive functions. The influence of lep...Continue Reading

Aging Genetics (Keystone)

This feed focuses on aging epidemiology and genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic aspects underlying aging, as well as aging- associated biomarkers. Here the latest research in this domain.

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.

Age-related Dementia

Dementias are a group of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, characterized by deficiencies in cognitive abilities. Age-related dementia refers to dementias that occur in older individuals, usually 60+ years old, in contrast to early-onset dementia. Follow the latest research on age-related dementia here.
