BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Longitudinal studies have shown an increase in cognitive decline many years before clinical diagnosis of dementia. We sought to estimate changes, relative to "normal" aging, in the trajectory of scores on a global cognitive function test-the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI).
DESIGN: A prospective cohort study.
SETTING: Community-dwelling members of a U.S. health maintenance organization.
PARTICIPANTS: Individuals aged 65 and older who had no dementia diagnosis at baseline and had at least two visits with valid CASI test score (N = 4,315).
MEASUREMENTS: Average longitudinal trajectories, including changes in trajectory before clinical diagnosis in those who would be diagnosed …

INTRODUCTION: Findings for genetic correlates of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) in studies that rely solely on clinic visits may differ from those with capacity to follow participants unable to attend clinic visits.
METHODS: We evaluated previously identified LOAD-risk single nucleotide variants in the prospective Adult Changes in Thought study, comparing hazard ratios (HRs) estimated using the full data set of both in-home and clinic visits (n = 1697) to HRs estimated using only data that were obtained from clinic visits (n = 1308). Models were adjusted for age, sex, principal components to account for ancestry, and additional health indicators.

Osteoporosis Treatment Efficacy For Men: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis., Smita Nayak, Susan L Greenspan
Osteoporosis Treatment Efficacy For Men: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis., Smita Nayak, Susan L Greenspan
Articles, Abstracts, and Reports
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment options to reduce osteoporotic fracture risk in men.
DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
SETTING: Randomized clinical trials that evaluated the efficacy of a treatment for osteoporosis or low bone mineral density for adult men and reported fracture outcomes.
PARTICIPANTS: Men.
MEASUREMENTS: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies. Information was extracted from included studies on participant sociodemographic characteristics, number of male participants, treatment evaluated, comparator for evaluated treatment, study duration, and fracture outcomes. Risk of bias of individual studies was assessed using measures recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. …
