“…Other studies conducted in Japan, in which the average age of subjects was about 75 yr, showed similar Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, suggesting that the result reflects old age. 33,34 In this study, since we adopted a diagnostic method for postoperative cognitive dysfunction that has been demonstrated to have excellent sensitivity and specificity in previous studies, 2,14,18 we believe that the relatively low incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after 1 week despite the high percentage (greater than 80%) of patients with preoperative cognitive impairment was not due to a sensitivity issue. Additionally, the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction at 3 months was higher, ranging between 8.5 and 18.4%, depending on the handling of missing data.…”

Background There are no effective pharmacologic interventions for preventing postoperative cognitive dysfunction in daily practice. Since the antibiotic minocycline is known to suppress postoperative neuroinflammation, this study hypothesized and investigated whether minocycline might have a preventive effect on postoperative cognitive dysfunction after noncardiac surgery. Methods This study included patients aged more than 60 yr undergoing total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. They were randomly assigned to minocycline and placebo groups, to orally receive 100 mg of minocycline or placebo twice daily from the day before surgery until the seventh day after surgery. Cognitive function was evaluated before surgery, and 1 week and 3 months after surgery, using a battery of four cognitive function tests, including Visual Verbal Learning Test, Trail Making Test, Stroop Color and Word Test, and Letter–Digit Coding Task. Additionally, 30 healthy volunteers were subjected to the same tests as the patients to examine the learning effect of repeated tests. The occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was judged from the results of the neurocognitive test battery, with consideration of the learning effect. The secondary endpoints were the effects of minocycline on postoperative delirium and postoperative pain. Results A total of 100 patients were randomized to the minocycline group, and 102 were randomized to the placebo group. The average age of patients was 75 yr. Evaluation showed no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction between the minocycline and placebo groups at both 1 week (8 of 90 [8.9%] vs. 4 of 95 [4.2%]; odds ratio, 2.22 [95% CI, 0.64 to 7.65]; P = 0.240) and 3 months (15.3 of 90 [17.0%] vs. 15.3 of 95 [16.1%]; odds ratio, 1.07 [95% CI, 0.49 to 2.32]; P = 0.889) postoperatively. Missing data 3 months after surgery were corrected by the multiple imputation method. There were no differences between the two groups in postoperative delirium and postoperative pain. Conclusions Minocycline is likely to have no preventive effect on postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

“…In addition, our findings suggest that participants who did not watch TV or read were more likely to have poor global cognition. This is not surprising since evidence has illustrated that leisure activities involving brain stimulation, such as watching TV and reading, are protectors of cognition (Iizuka et al, 2021). Although, it should be noted that long hours in front of a TV may contribute to poor cognition, with previous research finding that watching TV for >3.5 h/day by adults aged 50 years or over was related to cognitive decline, particularly a decline in verbal memory (Fancourt & Steptoe, 2019).…”

This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify heterogeneous cognition, depression, and life satisfaction trajectory groups, and to examine the independent contributions of watching television and reading to these trajectories among middle‐aged and older adults. A sample was taken from the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging (TLSA) with measures of cognition, depression, life satisfaction, watching television, and reading during 12 years of follow‐up (N = 4440). Group‐based trajectory models and multinomial logistic regressions were used. The findings showed that the cohort was separated into three global cognition groups of low‐cognition (n = 376), declining‐cognition (n = 805), and maintained‐cognition (n = 2718); three episodic memory groups of high‐declining (n = 540), middle‐stable (n = 2066), and improving groups (n = 1293); three depression groups of low‐to‐low (n = 2571), median‐to‐high (n = 960), and high‐to‐high groups (n = 368); and three life satisfaction groups of low‐ (n = 1133), middle‐ (n = 977), and high‐level groups (n = 1789). Also, the findings demonstrated that after adjusting for covariates, those who did not watch television or read at the baseline had independently significantly increased odds of having lower global cognitive function, higher depression, and lower life satisfaction over time versus those who watched television or read almost every day. Based on the findings obtained, group‐based trajectories of cognition, depression, and life satisfaction scores identified distinct subgroups among TLSA participants. Moreover, the findings suggest that healthcare providers need to develop more targeted population interventions to ensure successful aging. Healthcare providers can encourage older adults, particularly new retirees, to participate in leisure activities (i.e., watching television and reading) to reduce prevalence rates of cognitive impairment and depression.

“…Although, the study showed that a decreased perception of one's physical activity may affect unhealthy behavior. But there still has controversial regards group physical exercise or activity in preventing cognitive decline [30][31][32]. Hence, these items mentioned above should be further revisited as dichotomous outcome terms (such as "agree" or "disagree") to the design of the subscale in MCIHB-Q to provide a good t in the subtest [33].…”

Background Disease perception and attitude seem to play critical roles in the cognitive impairment of individuals and may be significantly affected by healthcare professionals’ guidance in specific health behavioral changes.Objectives This study aimed to develop a questionnaire to investigate and explore the behavioral consciousness and attitudes of participants at risk of dementia during their early stage of cognitive impairment.Methods Based on the Health Belief Model and Theory, after extant literature analysis and specialist interviews, a scale of 42 question items were developed. About 283 cognitively complained MCI adults with no current or past history of dementia from our database were asked to enter this survey in our Geriatric Rehabilitation and Industry Promotion Center.Result 255 responses were obtained during this survey. The modified questionnaire includes four dimensions: susceptibility cognition (8 items), severity cognition (11 items), barrier cognition (7 items), and benefit cognition (9 items), 35 items in total. All of the internal consistency reliability, recalculation reliability, and content validity were higher than 0.89. Also, the correlation coefficient within each dimension shows a powerful relationship score from 0.874 to 0.935.Conclusion Our results supported that the MCIHB-Q has good reliability and validity, which may provide an adequate evaluation of clinical judgment in health care specialists.
