Associatie gevonden tussen depressieve symptomen en plasma markers voor de ziekte van Alzheimer
Het Nederlands Consortium of Dementie Cohorten heeft een meta-analyse gedaan met 8 cohort studies om te onderzoeken of plasma markers voor Alzheimer en neurodegeneratie associëren met depressieve symptomen later in het leven. De Leiden LangLeven Studie was één van de 8 deelnemende cohorten. De bevindingen zijn nu gepubliceerd in “The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry”. Deze studie heeft onderzocht of depressieve symptomen later in het leven geassocieerd zijn met plasma amyloid-beta42/40, p-tau181, neurofilament light, [...]
Healthful plant-based diet associates with greater well-being in older adults
A shift towards a more plant-based diet is promoted as healthy as well as sustainable. Whether this also applies to older adults is however less clear: On one hand plant-based diets may lead to energy deficits among vulnerable older adults and therefore negatively impact well-being. On the other hand, plant-based diets have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting they could be beneficial to older adults, often prone to chronic inflammation. We just published [...]
Scientific meeting: Modifying Cardio-vascular Ageing: from old cells to elderly patients
Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in the industrial nations especially in the elderly. Therefore, it is of scientific interest which part of the complete risk for cardiovascular diseases is based on cellular ageing in comparison with normal risk factors like smoking or hypercholesterolemia. Thus, it is important to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ageing. With this knowledge, interventions can be developed to modify the aging process and thereby [...]
