Abstract Using data from the 2006, 2012, and 2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, we estimated effects of co-occurrence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and complete tooth loss (CTL), both self-reported, on cognitive function among 10,816 adults age 50+. Cognitive function was measured using a shortened version of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status. Results from the fixed effects linear regression model show that in comparison to those with neither condition, adults having both DM and CTL had the worst cognitive function (b = 1.49, p < 0.001), followed by having CTL alone (b = 0.78, p < 0.001), and having DM alone (b = 0.42, p < 0.001). Our study suggests that CTL is a stronger risk factor for lower cognitive function than DM, and the co-occurrence of DM and CTL poses additive risk. Further research is needed to investigate the pathway from DM and CTL to poor cognition.

Background and Purpose— Our study aim was to assess whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a specific biomarker for myocardial injury, is associated with cognitive function in patients after mild-to-moderate first-ever ischemic stroke. Methods— We used data from PROSCIS-B (Prospective Cohort With Incident Stroke Berlin). Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental-State-Examination at baseline, and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status–modified after 1 to 3 years of follow-up. Patients were categorized according to hs-cTnT quartiles. We performed generalized linear regression to calculate risk ratios of cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental-State-Examination <27; Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status–modified <32). Association of hs-cTnT with cognitive function over time was estimated using a linear mixed model. Results— We included 555 patients (mean age, 67 years, 62% male, median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 2 [interquartile range, 1–5], hs-cTnT above upper reference limit 40%, baseline cognitive impairment 28%). Baseline Mini-Mental-State-Examination score and rate of cognitive impairment were lower in patients in the highest versus lowest hs-cTnT quartile (median Mini-Mental-State-Examination 27 versus 29, and 15.3% versus 43.0%, adjusted risk ratio, 1.76 [95% CI, 1.07–2.90], respectively). If anything, cognition seemed to improve in all groups, yet Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status–modified scores were consistently lower in patients within the highest versus lowest hs-cTnT quartile (adjusted β, −1.33 [95% CI, −2.65 to −0.02]), without difference in the rate of change over time. Conclusions— In patients with mild-to-moderate first-ever ischemic stroke without dementia, higher hs-cTnT was associated with higher prevalence of cognitive impairment at baseline and lower Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status–modified during 3-year follow-up.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between performance on a clinical speech-in-noise measure with a comprehensive neurocognitive battery of tests. Method A group of older adults ( N = 250, M age = 77 years, age range: 67.3–89.1 years) enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study took part in the hearing pilot study (2013) that included testing for audiometric thresholds and speech-in-noise performance (Quick Speech-in-Noise Test; Killion, Niquette, Gudmundsen, Revit, & Banerjee, 2004). This research study analyzed the associations between domain-specific cognitive function and speech-in-noise performance after adjusting for hearing thresholds and other demographic and cardiovascular factors. Results Multivariable-adjusted associations were found between all cognitive domains and speech-in-noise performance in the full sample, but the observed associations varied when participants with varying levels of moderate to moderately severe hearing loss were excluded from the analysis. Conclusions The findings are discussed in terms considering the cognitive status of older adults in relation to their speech-in-noise performance during audiological evaluation and implications for aural rehabilitation.
