Air pollution as a risk factor for Cognitive Impairment no Dementia (CIND) and its progression to dementia: A longitudinal study

Jing Wu et al.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to ambient air pollution increases the risk of cognitive impairment in older adults and also contributes to the progression from cognitive impairment to dementia.

Impact of Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution on Cognitive Decline in Older Adults Without Dementia

Seon Young Park et al.

Summary: Exposure to high levels of air pollutants such as NO2, SO2, CO, and PM10 was associated with lower baseline cognitive scores and greater declines in cognitive function in older individuals. Efforts to reduce air pollution in LMICs are necessary to alleviate the burden on older adults with cognitive impairment.

Air quality improvement and cognitive decline in community-dwelling older women in the United States: A longitudinal cohort study

Diana P. Younan et al.

Summary: This study found that greater improvement in long-term air quality in late life was associated with slower cognitive declines in older women. The findings strengthen the contribution of outdoor air pollution on cognitive aging and highlight the potential benefits of reducing outdoor air pollution levels. Study limitations include measurement error in exposure estimates, potential unmeasured confounders, and limited generalizability.

Exposure to ambient air pollution and cognitive decline: Results of the prospective Three-City cohort study

Jeanne Duchesne et al.

Summary: This study found a link between higher exposure to PM2.5 and accelerated decline in global cognition in a large population-based cohort of French elderly individuals. No significant associations were detected for other pollutants or specific cognitive domains.

Life Course Air Pollution Exposure and Cognitive Decline: Modelled Historical Air Pollution Data and the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936

Tom C. Russ et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the feasibility of modeling historical air pollution data and its impact on cognitive health. Results showed that exposure to air pollution in 1935 was associated with a decline in IQ from age 11 to 70, but no evidence was found for other critical/sensitive periods of exposure or risk accumulation.

How can dementia and disability be prevented in older adults: where are we today and where are we going?

I. Lisko et al.

Summary: The aging population has led to a significant increase in older individuals living with dementia and disabilities, with dementia identified as the main cause of disability in old age. The World Health Organization's risk reduction guidelines highlight 12 modifiable risk factors that could contribute to approximately 40% of dementia cases worldwide. The FINGER trial has shown that multidomain lifestyle-based intervention can prevent cognitive and functional decline in at-risk older adults, supporting the need for integrated preventive interventions to address the shared risk factors between dementia and physical disability.

Associations between air pollution and biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in cognitively unimpaired individuals

Silvia Alemany et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with higher levels of AD pathology biomarkers in cognitively unimpaired adults at increased risk of AD, particularly in relation to brain A beta deposition and CSF NfL levels.

Association Between Ambient Air Pollution and Amyloid Positron Emission Tomography Positivity in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment

Leonardo Iaccarino et al.

Summary: This study found that higher PM2.5 concentrations appeared to be associated with brain A beta plaques. These findings suggest the need to consider airborne toxic pollutants associated with A beta pathology in public health policy decisions and to inform individual lifetime risk of developing AD and dementia.

Alzheimer's disease

Philip Scheltens et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is projected to see a significant increase in prevalence in the future, with genetics playing a key role. Novel biomarkers and lifestyle-based prevention trials show promising therapeutic potential. Promising pharmacological treatments are advancing in clinical trials, targeting amyloid beta, tau, and inflammation.

Estimating PM2.5 concentrations in Northeastern China with full spatiotemporal coverage, 2005-2016

Xia Meng et al.

Summary: This study developed a gap-filling approach using random forest algorithms to predict PM2.5 in NEC during 2005-2016 by combining satellite AOD, meteorological data, land use parameters, population, and visibility. The model successfully filled the gap caused by missing AOD and showed high accuracy in predicting historical PM2.5 concentrations.

A critical review of the epidemiological evidence of effects of air pollution on dementia, cognitive function and cognitive decline in adult population

Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit et al.

Summary: This review critically examines the epidemiological evidence of associations between exposure to ambient air pollutants and cognitive performance, cognitive decline, and risk of developing dementia. The evidence consistently shows associations between chronic exposure to air pollution and reduced cognitive function, as well as increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Neuroimaging studies also report brain structure changes related to air pollution exposure, suggesting a causal relationship between air pollution and cognitive impairment.
