    Abstract: Several prospective Western studies have reported an inverse association of vegetable and fruit intake with dementia risk. However, there is limited epidemiologic evidence in Asians. This study investigated the association of intakes of vegetables, fruits, and their nutrients on the risk of incident dementia and its subtypes in a Japanese community. Methods A total of 1071 participants (452 men and 619 women) aged ≥60 years without dementia at baseline were prospectively followed up for 24 years. Intakes of vegetables, fruits, and nutrients were evaluated using a 70-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire at baseline and were categorized into quartiles separately by gender. The outcome measure was the development of dementia and its subtypes—namely, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD). The risk estimates of incident dementia were computed using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results During the long-term follow-up period, 464 subjects developed dementia, of whom 286 had AD and 144 had VaD. Higher vegetable intake was associated gradually with lower risk of developing dementia and AD (both P -trend 〈  0.05), but not VaD, after adjusting for confounders. Subjects allocated the highest quartile of vegetable intake had 27 and 31% lower risk of dementia and AD, respectively, than those with the lowest quartile. The risk of dementia decreased significantly with higher intakes of vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, and potassium (all P -trend 〈  0.05). Subjects with higher total dietary fiber intake tended to be at decreased risk for total dementia ( P -trend = 0.07). Meanwhile, there were no significant associations between fruit intake and the risk of dementia and its subtypes. Conclusion Higher intakes of vegetables and their constituent nutrients were associated with a lower risk of dementia in Japanese older adults. A diet rich in vegetables may be beneficial in reducing the dementia risk in Asians.

    Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2), a proinflammatory mediator, has been reported to accelerate the development of insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis in mice. However, no cohort studies have examined the relationship between serum ANGPTL2 levels and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population. Approach and Results— A total of 3005 community-dwelling Japanese aged ≥40 years without a history of CVD were divided into 4 groups according to the quartiles of serum ANGPTL2 concentrations (Q1, lowest and Q4, highest) and followed up for 10 years. The hazards ratios and their 95% confidence intervals for the development of CVD (coronary heart disease or stroke) were estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model. During the follow-up, 219 first-ever CVD events were observed. The risk of CVD increased significantly with elevating ANGPTL2 levels after adjustment for age, sex, serum total cholesterol, use of lipid-lowering agents, ECG abnormalities, smoking habits, alcohol intake, and regular exercise (hazards ratios [95% confidence interval], Q1, 1.00 [reference] ; Q2, 1.27 [0.80–2.04]; Q3, 1.48 [0.95–2.32] ; and Q4, 1.85 [1.20–2.85]; P =0.003 for trend). After additional adjustment for metabolic syndrome components and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels as an inflammatory marker, the association was attenuated but remained significant (hazards ratios [95% confidence interval], Q1, 1.00 [reference] ; Q2, 1.21 [0.76–1.94]; Q3, 1.38 [0.87–2.17] ; and Q4, 1.66 [1.05–2.60]; P =0.02 for trend). Conclusions— Our findings suggest that elevated serum ANGPTL2 levels are a novel risk factor for the development of CVD in the general population. This association is partially mediated by metabolic disorders and inflammation.

    Abstract: To examine the association between serum total homocysteine levels (tHcy) and dementia risk. Methods A total of 1588 Japanese adults aged ≥60 years without dementia were prospectively followed from 2002 to 2012. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines were used to estimate the HRs of tHcy levels on the risk of dementia. Results During the follow-up, 372 subjects developed all-cause dementia; 247 had Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 98 had vascular dementia (VaD). Compared with the lowest tHcy quintile (≤6.4 µmol/L), the multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CI) of the highest quintile (≥11.5 µmol/L) were 2.28 (1.51–3.43) for all-cause dementia, 1.96 (1.19–3.24) for AD and 2.51 (1.14–5.51) for VaD. In restricted cubic splines, the risk of all-cause dementia steadily increased between approximately 8–15 µmol/L and plateaued thereafter, with a similar non-linear shape observed for AD and VaD (all p for non-linearity ≤0.02). In stratified analyses by the most recognised genetic polymorphism affecting tHcy concentrations (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T), the positive association of tHcy with all-cause dementia persisted in both non-carriers and carriers of the risk allele, and even tended to be stronger in the former (p for heterogeneity=0.07). Conclusion High serum tHcy levels are associated with an elevated risk of dementia, AD and VaD in a non-linear manner, such that an exposure-response association is present only within a relatively high range of tHcy levels. Non-genetic factors affecting serum tHcy concentrations may play important roles in tHcy-dementia associations irrespective of the genetic susceptibility for raised tHcy.

    Abstract: Epidemiological evidence implies a link between heart disease and dementia. However, few prospective studies have assessed the association between serum NT ‐pro BNP (N‐terminal pro–B‐type natriuretic peptide) levels and dementia. Methods and Results A total of 1635 community‐dwelling Japanese elderly aged ≥60 years without dementia (57% women, mean age±SD 70.8±7.7 years) were followed up for 10 years. Serum NT ‐pro BNP levels were divided into 4 categories (≤54, 55‐124, 125‐299, and ≥300 pg/mL). The hazard ratios were estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model. During the follow‐up period, 377 subjects developed all‐cause dementia, 247 Alzheimer disease, and 102 vascular dementia. The age‐ and sex‐adjusted incidence of all‐cause dementia was 31.5 per 1000 person‐years and increased significantly with higher serum NT ‐pro BNP levels, being 16.4, 32.0, 35.7, and 45.5, respectively ( P for trend 〈 0.01). Subjects with serum NT ‐pro BNP levels of ≥300 pg/mL had a significantly higher risk of all‐cause dementia (hazard ratio=2.46, 95% CI 1.63‐3.71) than those with serum NT ‐pro BNP levels of ≤54 pg/ mL after adjusting for confounders. Similar risks were observed for Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia. Incorporation of the serum NT ‐pro BNP level into a model with known risk factors for dementia significantly improved the predictive ability for incident dementia (c‐statistics 0.780‐0.787, P =0.02; net reclassification improvement 0.189, P =0.001; integrated discrimination improvement 0.011, P =0.003). Conclusions Higher serum NT ‐pro BNP levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of dementia. Serum NT ‐pro BNP could be a novel biomarker for predicting future risk of dementia in the general elderly population.

    Abstract: Uncertainty still surrounds the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depression. We aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and elevated depressive symptoms in a general Japanese population. Methods This is a cross-sectional survey of 3,113 community-dwelling individuals aged 40 years or over. MetS was defined according to the joint interim statement. MetS was diagnosed when a subject had three or more of the following components: 1) central obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm for men, ≥80 cm in for women); 2) elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg or current use of antihypertensive medication); 3) hypertriglyceridemia (≥1.7 mmol/L); 4) low HDL cholesterol ( 〈  1.0 mmol/L for men, 〈  1.3 mmol/L for women); and 5) elevated fasting plasma glucose (≥5.55 mmol/L or current use of antidiabetic medication). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The age- and multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using a logistic regression model. Results Elevated depressive symptoms were observed in 4.3% of male and 6.3% of female participants. In men, the age-adjusted prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms was significantly higher in subjects with MetS than in those without (7.1% versus 3.6%, p = 0.04). The prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms rose progressively as the number of MetS components increased (3.5%, 3.6%, 5.8%, and 9.2% in male subjects with 0–1, 2, 3, and ≥4 components, respectively; p = 0.02 for trend). This association remained significant even after adjustment for age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise. In women, on the other hand, there was no clear association between MetS and depressive symptoms. Conclusions MetS was associated with elevated depressive symptoms in a general population of Japanese men.

    Abstract: Little is known about the influence of serum level of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2), which is a soluble type of an innate immune receptor expressed on the microglia, on the association of the daily sleep duration with the risk of dementia. Methods A total of 1230 Japanese community‐residents aged 60 and older without dementia were followed prospectively for 10 years (2002–2012). Serum sTREM2 levels were divided into two groups using the median value (334.8 pg/ml). Self‐reported daily sleep duration was grouped into three categories of 〈 5.0, 5.0–7.9, and ≥8.0 h. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of daily sleep duration on the risk of dementia according to serum sTREM2 levels. Results During the follow‐up, 262 subjects developed dementia. In subjects with low serum sTREM2 levels, subjects with ≥8.0 h of daily sleep had a significantly greater risk of dementia (multivariable‐adjusted HR 2.05 [95% CI 1.32–3.19]) than those with 5.0–7.9 h of daily sleep, but those with 〈 5.0 h did not. In contrast, the risk of dementia increased significantly in subjects with both 〈 5.0 (1.95 [1.03–3.68]) and ≥8.0 h of daily sleep (1.48 [1.06–2.07] ) in the subjects with high serum sTREM2 levels. Conclusions The influence of daily sleep duration on risk of dementia differed according to serum sTREM2 levels in the older Japanese population. Short daily sleep may be associated with greater risk of dementia only in subjects with a high serum sTREM2 level.

    Abstract: To investigate whether higher intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium reduces the risk of incident dementia. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting The H isayama S tudy, in J apan. Participants One thousand eighty‐one community‐dwelling Japanese individuals without dementia aged 60 and older. Measurements A 70‐item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess potassium, calcium, and magnesium intakes. Hazard ratios ( HR s) for the development of all‐cause dementia and its subtypes were estimated using C ox proportional hazards model. Results During a 17‐year follow‐up, 303 participants experienced all‐cause dementia; of these, 98 had vascular dementia ( V a D ), and 166 had A lzheimer's disease ( AD ). The multivariable‐adjusted HR s for the development of all‐cause dementia were 0.52 (95% confidence interval [ CI ] = 0.30–0.91), 0.64 (95% CI  = 0.41–1.00), and 0.63 (95% CI  = 0.40–1.01) for the highest quartiles of potassium, calcium, and magnesium intake, respectively, compared with the corresponding lowest quartiles. Similarly, the HR s for the development of V a D were 0.20 (95% CI  = 0.07–0.56), 0.24 (95% CI  = 0.11–0.53), and 0.26 (95% CI  = 0.11–0.61) for the highest quartiles of potassium, calcium, and magnesium intake, respectively. There was no evidence of a linear association between these mineral intakes and the risk of AD . Conclusion Higher self‐reported dietary intakes of potassium, calcium, and magnesium reduce the risk of all‐cause dementia, especially V a D , in the general Japanese population.

    Abstract: We examined the association between serum concentrations of β-alanine, a metabolite of carnosine and anserine, and the risk of dementia in a general population of elderly Japanese persons. In 2007, 1,475 residents of Hisayama, Japan, aged 60–79 years and without dementia were divided into 4 groups according to quartiles of serum β-alanine concentrations (quartile 1, lowest; quartile 4, highest) and followed for a median of 5.3 years. During follow-up, 117 subjects developed all-cause dementia (Alzheimer in 77 cases and vascular dementia in 31). The risk of all-cause dementia decreased with increasing serum β-alanine levels after adjustment for potential confounding factors (quartile 2, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.73 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45, 1.18); quartile 3, HR = 0.50 (95% CI: 0.28, 0.89); quartile 4, HR = 0.50 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.92); P = 0.01 for trend). A similar inverse association was observed for Alzheimer disease (quartile 2, HR = 0.78 (95% CI: 0.44, 1.38); quartile 3, HR = 0.53 (95% CI: 0.26, 1.06); quartile 4, HR = 0.53 (95% CI: 0.25, 1.10); P = 0.04 for trend) but not for vascular dementia. We found that higher serum β-alanine levels were significantly associated with lower risks of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer disease. Because serum β-alanine levels reflect intakes of carnosine/anserine, higher intakes of carnosine/anserine might be beneficial for the prevention of dementia.
