Introduction: Although exercise can prevent cognitive decline due to aging, few elderly individuals are able to exercise for long. Therefore, an exercise method for older adults that is feasible for a long duration without overexertion is necessary. In this study, we focused on exercise by shaking. This study examined the possibility to prevent the...

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with a greater risk of late-life dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but only a few studies examined the relationship between residuals of blunt TBI and autopsy-proven AD. The objective of the present study was to examine the incidence of fully developed AD pathology after doc...

Background: Extracranial carotid atherosclerosis has been variably associated with dementia. Prior studies have focused on the association of carotid intima media thickness or carotid stenosis; however, there is evidence that carotid plaque may contribute to dementia, perhaps via microembolic phenomena. Objectives: We sought to evaluate the role of...

Introduction: Anticholinergic burden may be an important risk factor for the cognitive impairment. Especially in polypharmacy, even drugs with low anticholinergic effects may contribute to a significant anticholinergic burden. The drugs with anticholinergic effects are used in treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Th...
