    Am J Epidemiol 165:1231-8. 2007
    ..Thus, risk factors for dementia may operate primarily by predisposing individuals to develop mild cognitive impairments; subsequent progression to dementia then depends on only time and competing mortality...

    Suzanne L Tyas
    Department of Health Studies and Gerontology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
    Age Ageing 36:650-5. 2007
    ..Although the concept of healthy ageing has stimulated considerable interest, no generally accepted definition has been developed nor has its biological basis been determined...

    Department of Health Studies Gerontology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
    Drugs Aging 28:561-73. 2011
    ..However, these first-line therapies are underused in older populations. This article describes the use and predictors of use of first-line HF therapies in a population-based cohort of older home care clients in Ontario, Canada...

    Neurobiol Aging 24:589-96. 2003
    ..This study suggests that amount smoked is associated with an increasing risk of AD and Alzheimer-type neuropathology up to heavy smoking levels. The lack of association in very heavy smokers may be due to a hardy survivor effect...
  5. ncbi Do depressive symptoms predict Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
    Jennifer L Gatz
    Graduate Center for Gerontology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536 0200, USA
    J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 60:744-7. 2005
    ..Depressive symptoms are common in seniors and may predict dementia. The objective of this study was to evaluate multiple measures of depressive symptoms to determine whether they predict subsequent Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia...
