“…These results are similar to a previous study of persons with Alzheimer's Disease, a neurodegenerative disease that mimics regional cerebral perfusion maps seen in persons with PDD, which found bilateral temporal perfusion scores were closely correlated to performance of word list learning [26] [41] [42]. Persons with PD and an existing diagnosis of HTN (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-R [43], form (HVLT-R) and Logical Memory Stories II (WMS-II) [44]; combined score PD + HTN-p = 0.021) [24] or OH (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) [45], PD + OHp = 0.02] [28]) were also found to have decreased delayed verbal memory recall scores. Decreases in verbal memory recall scores in persons with PD and OH were maintained when persons with MMSE < 24 were excluded from statistical analysis (RAVLT, p = 0.03) [28].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review of the literature is to examine the cerebrovascular and cardiovascular effects on cognition in persons with Parkinson's disease. Relevance: Physical therapy treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) has traditionally focused on lessening the impact of disease severity by improving quality of life and functional capacity. Research has shown that quality of life in persons with PD is not only significantly affected by motor symptoms, but also by the presence of defined non-motor symptoms such as cerebrovascular perfusion, cardiovascular dysfunction, and cognitive impairment. This study seeks to determine a causative effect among these non-motor symptoms with the intention to better manage cognitive impairment in persons with PD. Methods: A literature search was conducted utilizing the following databases: Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL. After evaluating and grading studies using the Downs and Black Checklist, a total of seven studies remained for the final review. Results: Five common domains of cognition emerged throughout the seven studies: executive function, attention, verbal memory and fluency, visual memory, and working memory. Considering the articles reviewed, a relationship between cerebrovascular and cardiovascular deficiency and cognitive impairment in persons with PD was established. Conclusions: Persons with PD and certain cerebrovascular and cardiovascular risk factors, including orthostatic hypotension and systemic hypertension, should be referred to appropriate professionals for comprehensive neuropsychological testing secondary to an increased risk for more severe cognitive deficit.

“…General cognitive ability-Because general cognitive ability is associated with memory and other cognitive abilities (21,22), logical memory and visual reproduction scores were adjusted for prior general cognitive ability. Our index of general cognitive ability was the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), which was administered as a screening instrument just prior to military induction when the average age of participants in the present analyses was 19.9 (± 1.37) and again during the VETSA at average age 55.1.…”

Apolipoprotein E genotype and memory in the sixth decade of life

et al. 2008

Background-Virtually all adult studies of APOE genotypes and cognition have included individuals over 60. In older adults, ε4 carriers may manifest greater cognitive asymmetries than non-ε4 carriers even in the absence of overall mean differences. General cognitive ability may also be affected by aging and APOE genotype, but most studies have inadequately addressed this potential confound. The goals of this study were to examine, in middle age, the relationship of APOE genotype with episodic memory and verbal-visuospatial episodic memory asymmetries, after accounting for prior general cognitive ability.

Researchers have explored a variety of interventions to improve cognition among older adults. One of which is computerized cognitive training programs. The number of commercially available, cognitive training programs has increased greatly, but scientists debate their value. The purposes of this systematic literature review and meta-analysis were to (1) evaluate the efficacy of commercially available, computerized cognitive training programs to improve cognition in older adults and (2) examine far transfer of training to untrained tasks relevant to everyday functioning. Articles were reviewed if the study (a) included a sample of adults aged 55 and older, (b) used a commercially available, computerized cognitive training program, (c) was a randomized controlled trial, (d) measured cognition as an outcome, and (e) included a sample that was free from health conditions affecting cognitive function (e.g., cancer, stroke, psychiatric conditions, or traumatic brain injury). Effect sizes were calculated using random effect models to determine cognitive training effects for various cognitive domains and far transfer tasks. There were significant small to medium training effects for the cognitive domains of attention (d = 0.651, p < .001), processing speed (d = 0.294, p = .002), and visuospatial memory (d = 0.252, p = 0.016). There was also evidence of far transfer to selfreported measures of everyday function (d = 0.277, p < 0.001). Commercially available computerized cognitive training programs may improve certain cognitive abilities among older adults, who also report improvement on tasks relevant to their everyday lives.
