“…We also assessed the association between stroke and MCI as there is evidence for a high prevalence of vascular injuries in patients with dementia (Savva et al, 2010). Our results complement those of previous studies that found higher odds of stroke in cognitively impaired individuals (Atti et al, 2010). However, we did not find a significant association between stroke and MCI in the overall sample or the older age group, and a significant association was only found in the younger age group.…”

“…A higher crude prevalence of MCI was seen in the blue collar workers but these data were not confirmed after adjustment. CIND was not found to be associated with occupation in our study, confirming the negative findings of other studies with regard to the influence of occupation on CIND prevalence (Atti et al, 2010;Fei et al, 2009). In the ''InCHIANTI'' study, manual work was found to be associated with CIND (Marengoni et al, 2011), but the InCHIANTI study population had a broad age range (from 60 to 98 years) and included a high proportion of farmers.…”

The age-specific prevalence rates of dementia vary widely. Studies focusing on specific age groups are needed to provide reliable estimates for healthcare providers and policy makers. We estimated the prevalence of dementia, dementia subtypes and cognitive impairment in "InveCe.Ab" (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01345110), a single-step multidimensional population-based study of 70-74-year olds living in Abbiategrasso (Milan, Italy). We also looked for associations with socio-demographic factors and the presence of the apolipoprotein E-ɛ4 allele. The overall dementia prevalence was 3% (95%CI: 2.1-4.1%) [Alzheimer's disease (AD): 1.2% (95%CI 0.6-1.9%); vascular dementia (VD): 1.4% (95%CI: 0.8-2.2%)]. Being single was found to be a risk factor for vascular dementia; subjects born in southern Italy were shown to be at greater risk both of overall dementia and of vascular dementia. The prevalence of cognitive impairment, with or without subjective cognitive complaints (cognitive impairment, no dementia, CIND) was 7.8% (95%CI: 6.4-9.4%). As regards the CIND subgroups, the prevalence of subjects with subjective cognitive complaints (mild cognitive impairment, MCI) was 5.0% (95%CI 3.9-6.3%), while the prevalence of those without MCI (CIND-other) was 2.8% (95%CI: 1.9-3.8). The males had a higher risk of MCI and CIND-other; the older subjects were more likely to have MCI, and those born in north-eastern Italy to have CIND-other. The prevalence of AD was higher among the apolipoprotein E-ɛ4 carriers. Our data highlight the importance of dementia and cognitive impairment in the transitional period from adulthood to old age, and reveal the presence of different associations with socio-demographic and genetic factors.

“…Many of the factors associated with restricted life-space are similar to those observed in the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health and functioning: low SES correlates with walking difficulties (Groffen et al, 2013;Koster et al, 2005;Melzer, Izmirlian, Leveille, & Guralnik, 2001), poor physical functioning (Enroth, Raitanen, Hervonen, & Jylhä, 2013) and cognitive difficulties (Atti et al, 2010;Karp et al, 2004). Socioeconomic disparities, meaning differences in health and functioning which are associated with educational attainment or other socioeconomic measures (Adler & Newman, 2002) have been widely documented in earlier studies.…”
