Is There an Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Cognitive Function in Very Old Adults? The Newcastle 85+ Study

Abstract: The association between MetS and cognitive decline, which has been described in younger populations (<75), was not apparent in this population of individuals aged 85 and older at baseline.

“…The relationship of MetS to cognitive function has been explored in both cross-sectional (4,5) and longitudinal (6)(7)(8) studies, by assessing global (4) or domain-specific (4,5) cognitive impairment, or cognitive decline (7) and progression to dementia (6,8) over time.…”

“…Since its inception, the Newcastle 85+ study used by Blane and colleagues to illustrate the golden generation, has provided valuable information about their physical, metabolic, immune and cognitive function phenotypes (Collerton et al, 2007;Harrison et al, 2015;Motta et al, 2005;Terry, Sebastiani, Andersen & Perls, 2008;Vacante et al, 2012;Willcox et al, 2008). Yet by their design, this and numerous other studies conducted worldwide among the oldest old are limited in their contribution to the understanding of the life course trajectories that explain the longevity of their participants.…”
