Cohort 2 student Immi Biswas publishes a Systematic review entitled ‘Secular Trends in Dementia Free Cognitive Function in Older Adults’ in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Immi had the following to say about the publication:
‘The objective was to systematically evaluate the published data on generational differences in cognitive function in the older population.
Prevalence of vascular related mild cognitive impairment has increased in China. Improvements in cognition may only partially be explained by increased educational attainment across generations. This review provides evidence for generational effects in dementia-free cognitive function, predominately stability or improvements in performance, in later compared to earlier born individuals across different world regions. There is an urgent need to determine the factors driving such changes and whether they are being experienced in all world regions, particularly low- and middle-income countries where the burden of cognitive impairment is greatest and rising.’
