Peters R, Poulter R, Warner J, Beckett N, Burch L, Bulpitt Cet al., 2008, Smoking, dementia and cognitive decline in the elderly, a systematic review., BMC Geriatr, Vol: 8

BACKGROUND: Nicotine may aid reaction time, learning and memory, but smoking increases cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular risk factors have been linked to increased risk of dementia. A previous meta-analysis found that current smokers were at higher risk of subsequent dementia, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and cognitive decline. METHODS: In order to update and examine this further a systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out using different search and inclusion criteria, database selection and more recent publications. Both reviews were restricted to those aged 65 and over. RESULTS: The review reported here found a significantly increased risk of Alzheimer's disease with current smoking and a likely but not significantly increased risk of vascular dementia, dementia unspecified and cognitive decline. Neither review found clear relationships with former smoking. CONCLUSION: Current smoking increases risk of Alzheimer's disease and may increase risk of other dementias. This reinforces need for smoking cessation, particularly aged 65 and over. Nicotine alone needs further investigation.

Peters R, Burch L, Warner J, Beckett N, Poulter R, Bulpitt Cet al., 2008, Haemoglobin, anaemia, dementia and cognitive decline in the elderly, a systematic review., BMC Geriatr, Vol: 8

BACKGROUND: Anaemia may increase risk of dementia or cognitive decline. There is also evidence that high haemoglobin levels increase risk of stroke, and consequently possible cognitive impairment. The elderly are more at risk of developing dementia and are also more likely to suffer from anaemia, although there is relatively little longitudinal literature addressing this association. METHODS: To evaluate the evidence for any relationship between incident cognitive decline or dementia in the elderly and anaemia or haemoglobin level, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses of peer reviewed publications. Medline, Embase and PsychInfo were searched for English language publications between 1996 and 2006. Criteria for inclusion were longitudinal studies of subjects aged > or =65, with primary outcomes of incident dementia or cognitive decline. Other designs were excluded. RESULTS: Three papers were identified and only two were able to be combined into a meta-analysis. The pooled hazard ratio for these two studies was 1.94 (95 percent confidence intervals of 1.32-2.87) showing a significantly increased risk of incident dementia with anaemia. It was not possible to investigate the effect of higher levels of haemoglobin. CONCLUSION: Anaemia is one factor to bear in mind when evaluating risk of incident dementia. However, there are few data available and the studies were methodologically varied so a cautionary note needs to be sounded and our primary recommendation is that further robust research be carried out.

Peters R, Martin-Marero C, Pinto E, Beckett Net al., 2007, Hypertension in the very elderly, Aging Health, Vol: 3, Pages: 517-525, ISSN: 1745-509X

The world population is aging and disorders that are more prevalent in the elderly are of increasing importance. Hypertension falls into this category and has been linked to many adverse outcomes from stroke to mortality and dementia. Antihypertensive treatment has been shown to be successful in younger age groups but in those aged 80 years and over its benefits are not yet proven, and the risks and benefits of hypertension and antihypertensive treatment are unclear. Given this, it is useful to examine hypertension in the very elderly, the epidemiology, the likely impact of hypertension in this population, both physical and mental, and the as yet unclear issue of treatment. An ongoing, randomized, controlled trial in this age group will aid resolution of these issues and our understanding of this very elderly group. © 2007 Future Medicine Ltd.
