Healio (7/27, Gramigna) reports, “Depression appeared to adversely affect cognitive performance but not cognitive change among a cohort of individuals aged 90 years or older,” investigators concluded after analyzing “data from the LifeAfter90 cohort, a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of participants aged 90 years or older that launched in 2018 to attempt to characterize cognitive and brain aging among this age group.” The findings of the 655-participant study were presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference.
