Abstract WP269: Predicting post-stroke all-cause dementia incidence using machine learning models and electronic health record data

Stroke Journal

Introduction:All-cause dementia remains a significant public health concern, with stroke recognized as a key risk factor. Few studies have applied Machine Learning (ML) models to accurately predict cognitive impairment and dementia, yet none have specifically focused on post-stroke dementia risk prediction.

Abstract WP319: Reliability and validity of self-reported risk factors for stroke and dementia

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Stroke and dementia are among the leading causes of mortality globally. This can be mitigated through targeting modifiable risk factors. Identification of those at-risk through screening tools could be facilitated by inclusion of self-reported risk factors rather than reliance on clinical data.

Living Past 100: Insights from Centenarians on a Long, Healthy Life

Dr. Paddy Barrett

It’s not that they don’t get cardiovascular disease, cancer or dementia; they just get it way later than everyone else. When broken down by disease category, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, osteoarthritis, hypertension and stroke, the pattern is the same. Aggressively control the risk factors.

Physiology Friday #196: Resistance Training and Heart Health

Physiologically Speaking

The benefit of resistance training observed in observational studies is supported by controlled trials on resistance training, which demonstrate that this type of exercise reduces traditional and nontraditional CVD risk factors. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range.

Decoding Longevity. How To Not Die. Young

Dr. Paddy Barrett

Cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia account for 60% of all deaths in the US. Yes, many external factors impact these factors, but ultimately, you have significant control over all of these. Let’s look at what happens to NCD risk when these risk factors are optimised. These are NCD’s.

Abstract TP378: Malondialdehyde as a Clinical Indicator for Oxidative Stress: Associations with Age, BMI, and Cognitive Impairment

Stroke Journal

Accumulation of oxidative stress has been shown to trigger the initiation and progression of cognitive deficits, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimers Dementia (AD).
