    (Wiley, 2025-01-09) Zhao, Xuhao; Yan, Yifan; Lipnicki, Darren M.; Pang, Ting; Chen, Christopher; Wong, Tien Yin; Cheng, Ching Yu; Venketasubramanian, Narayanaswamy; Chong, Eddie; Costa, Erico; Lipton, Richard B.; Katz, Mindy J.; Ritchie, Karen; Carriere, Isabelle; Scarmeas, Nikolaos; Gureje, Oye; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Gao, Sujuan; Guerra, Ricardo Oliveira; Rolandi, Elena; Riedel-Heller, Steffi G.; Ganguli, Mary; Aiello, Allison E.; Ho, Roger Chun-Man; Sanchez-Juan, Pascual; Lobo, Antonio; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Xu, Xiaolin; Xu, Xin; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    Background: To estimate the additive associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) and depression on long‐term cognitive trajectory in multi‐regional cohorts and validate the generalizability of the findings in varying clinical settings. Method: Data harmonization was performed across 14 longitudinal cohort studies within the Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium (COSMIC) group, spanning North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Three external validation studies with distinct settings were employed to assess generalizability. Cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted. CMM was defined as: 1) CMM5: ≥ 2 among hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and heart disease and 2) CMM3 (aligned with previous studies): ≥ 2 among diabetes mellitus, stroke, and heart disease. Depression was identified using the Geriatric Depression Scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies‐Depression scale, or medical history. A one‐step individual participant data meta‐analysis was utilized to investigate associations between the co‐occurrence of CMM and depression and cognitive outcomes in the COSMIC studies. Stratified analyses were conducted based on baseline dementia status, demographics, and APOE genotype. Repeated analyses were performed in external validation studies for generalization. Result: Of the 32,450 older adults in the 14 COSMIC cohorts, we included 31,243 participants with complete data on CMM, depression, and cognitive assessment for cross‐sectional analyses. Among them, 23,242 who had at least 1 follow‐up cognitive assessment were included in the longitudinal analyses. From the three external studies we included 1964 participants, representing 3 multi‐ethnic Asian elderly cohorts (community cohort, memory clinic cohort, and stroke cohort). In the COSMIC studies analysis, the co‐occurrence of CMM and depression was associated with both cross‐sectional cognitive performance (β = ‐0.20, 95%CI = (‐0.25,‐0.16) for CMM5 and depression, β = ‐0.17, (95%CI = ‐0.044,‐0.031) for CMM3 and depression), and rate of cognitive decline (β = ‐0.038, 95%CI = (‐0.25,‐0.16) for CMM5 and depression, β = ‐0.023, (95%CI = ‐0.036, ‐0.009) for CMM3 and depression). This combined effect remained consistent across different subgroups particularly among participants without dementia. These findings were reproduced in the three external validation studies. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated an additive effect between CMM and depression on cognitive decline. Targeting both cardiometabolic and psychological conditions could lead to greater effectiveness in delaying or preventing cognitive decline.

    APOE ε4 and the risk for Alzheimer disease and cognitive decline in African Americans and Yoruba
    (Cambridge University Press, 2014-06) Hendrie, Hugh C.; Murrell, Jill; Baiyewu, Olusegun; Lane, Kathleen A.; Purnell, Christianna; Ogunniyi, Adesola; Unverzagt, Frederick W.; Hall, Kathleen; Callahan, Christopher M.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Gureje, Oye; Hake, Ann; Foroud, Tatiana; Gao, Sujuan; Department of Psychiatry, IU School of Medicine
    Background There is little information on the association of the APOEe4 allele and AD risk in African populations. In previous analyses from the Indianapolis-Ibadan dementia project, we have reported that APOE ε4 increased the risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in African Americans but not in Yoruba. This study represents a replication of this earlier work using enriched cohorts and extending the analysis to include cognitive decline. Methods In this longitudinal study of two community dwelling cohorts of elderly Yoruba and African Americans, APOE genotyping was conducted from blood samples taken on or before 2001 (1,871 African Americans & 2,200 Yoruba). Mean follow up time was 8.5 years for African Americans and 8.8 years for Yoruba. The effects of heterozygosity or homozygosity of ε4 and of the possession of e4 on time to incident AD and on cognitive decline were determined using Cox’s proportional hazards regression and mixed effects models. Results After adjusting for covariates, one or two copies of the APOE ε4 allele were significant risk factors for incident AD (p < 0.0001) and cognitive decline in the African-American population (p < 0001). In the Yoruba, only homozygosity for APOE ε4 was a significant risk factor for AD (p = 0.0002) but not for cognitive decline (p = 0.2346), however, possession of an e4 allele was significant for both incident AD (p = 0.0489) and cognitive decline (p = 0.0425). Conclusions In this large longitudinal comparative study, APOE ε4 had a significant, but weaker, effect on incident AD and on cognitive decline in Yoruba than in African Americans. The reasons for these differences remain unclear.

    Correlates of Gait Speed Among Older Adults From 6 Countries: Findings From the COSMIC Collaboration
    (Oxford University Press, 2023) Sprague, Briana N.; Zhu, Xiaonan; Rosso, Andrea L.; Verghese, Joe; Delbaere, Kim; Lipnicki, Darren M.; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Ng, Tze Pin; Gwee, Xinyi; Yap, Keng Bee; Kim, Ki-Woong; Han, Ji Won; Oh, Dae Jong; Narazaki, Kenji; Chen, Tao; Chen, Sanmei; Brodaty, Henry; Numbers, Katya; Kochan, Nicole A.; Walker, Richard W.; Paddick, Stella-Maria; Gureje, Oye; Ojagbemi, Akin; Bello, Toyin; Rosano, Caterina; COSMIC Consortium; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Few studies have compared gait speed and its correlates among different ethnogeographic regions. The goals of this study were to describe usual and rapid gait speed, and identify their correlates across Australian, Asian, and African countries. Methods: We used data from 6 population-based cohorts of adults aged 65+ from 6 countries and 3 continents (N = 6 472), with samples ranging from 231 to 1 913. All cohorts are members of the Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium collaboration. We investigated whether clinical (body mass index [BMI], hypertension, stroke, apolipoprotein status), psychological (cognition, mood, general health), and behavioral factors (smoking, drinking, physical activity) correlated with usual (N = 4 cohorts) and rapid gait speed (N = 3 cohorts) similarly across cohorts. Regression models were controlled for age, sex, and education, and were sex-stratified. Results: Age- and sex-standardized usual gait speed means ranged from 0.61 to 1.06 m/s and rapid gait speed means ranged from 1.16 to 1.64 m/s. Lower BMI and better cognitive function consistently correlated with faster gait speed in all cohorts. Less consistently, not having hypertension and greater physical activity engagement were associated with faster gait speed. Associations with mood, smoking, and drinking were largely nonsignificant. These patterns were not attenuated by demographics. There was limited evidence that the associations differed by sex, except physical activity, where the greater intensity was associated with usual gait among men but not women. Conclusions: This study is among the first to describe the usual and rapid gait speeds across older adults in Africa, Asia, and Australia.

    Dementia incidence declined in African-Americans but not in Yoruba
    (Elsevier, 2016-03) Gao, Sujuan; Ogunniyi, Adesola; Hall, Kathleen S.; Baiyewu, Olesegun; Unverzagt, Frederick W.; Lane, Kathleen A.; Murrell, Jill R.; Gureje, Oye; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Department of Biostatistics, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health
    INTRODUCTION: To compare dementia incidence of African-American and Yoruba cohorts aged ≥70 years enrolled in 1992 and 2001. METHODS: African-Americans residing in Indianapolis and Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria without dementia were enrolled in 1992 and 2001 and evaluated every 2-3 years until 2009. The cohorts consist of 1440 African-Americans, 1774 Yoruba in 1992 and 1835 African-Americans and 1895 Yoruba in the 2001 cohorts aged ≥70 years. RESULTS: In African-Americans, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) incidence rates were significantly lower in 2001 than 1992 for all age groups except the oldest group. The overall standardized annual dementia incidence rates were 3.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2%-4.1%) in the 1992 cohort and 1.4% (95% CI, 1.2%-1.7%) in the 2001 cohort. There was no significant difference in dementia or AD incidence between the Yoruba cohorts. DISCUSSION: Future research is needed to explore the reasons for the differential changes in incidence rates in these two populations.

    Genetic Influences on Plasma Homocysteine Levels in African Americans and Yoruba Nigerians.
    (IOS Press, 2015) Kim, Sungeun; Nho, Kwangsik; Ramanan, Vijay K.; Lai, Dongbing; Foroud, Tatiana M.; Lane, Katie; Murrell, Jill R.; Gao, Sujuan; Hall, Kathleen S.; Unverzagt, Frederick W.; Baiyewu, Olusegun; Ogunniyi, Adesola; Gureje, Oye; Kling, Mitchel A.; Doraiswamy, P. Murali; Kaddurah-Daouk, Rima; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of Medicine
    Plasma homocysteine, a metabolite involved in key cellular methylation processes seems to be implicated in cognitive functions and cardiovascular health with its high levels representing a potential modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. A better understanding of the genetic factors regulating homocysteine levels, particularly in non-white populations, may help in risk stratification analyses of existing clinical trials and may point to novel targets for homocysteine-lowering therapy. To identify genetic influences on plasma homocysteine levels in individuals with African ancestry, we performed a targeted gene and pathway-based analysis using a priori biological information and then to identify new association performed a genome-wide association study. All analyses used combined data from the African American and Yoruba cohorts from the Indianapolis-Ibadan Dementia Project. Targeted analyses demonstrated significant associations of homocysteine and variants within the CBS (Cystathionine beta-Synthase) gene. We identified a novel genome-wide significant association of the AD risk gene CD2AP (CD2-associated protein) with plasma homocysteine levels in both cohorts. Minor allele (T) carriers of identified CD2AP variant (rs6940729) exhibited decreased homocysteine level. Pathway enrichment analysis identified several interesting pathways including the GABA receptor activation pathway. This is noteworthy given the known antagonistic effect of homocysteine on GABA receptors. These findings identify several new targets warranting further investigation in relation to the role of homocysteine in neurodegeneration.

    Homocysteine levels and dementia risk in Yoruba and African Americans
    (Elsevier, 2013) Hendrie, Hugh C.; Baiyewu, Olusegun; Lane, Kathleen A.; Purnell, Christianna; Gao, Sujuan; Hake, Ann; Ogunniyi, Adesola; Gureje, Oye; Unverzagt, Frederick W.; Murrell, Jill; Deeg, Mark A.; Hall, Kathleen; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    Background: High levels of homocysteine have been associated with increased risk for dementia although results have been inconsistent. There are no reported studies from the developing world including Africa. Methods: In this longitudinal study of two community-dwelling cohorts of elderly Yoruba and African Americans, levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate were measured from blood samples taken in 2001. These levels were compared in two groups, participants who developed incident dementia in the follow-up until 2009 (59 Yoruba and 101 African Americans) and participants who were diagnosed as cognitively normal or in the good performance category at their last follow-up (760 Yoruba and 811 African Americans). Homocysteine levels were divided into quartiles for each site. Results: After adjusting for age, education, possession of ApoE, smoking, and time of enrollment the higher quartiles of homocysteine were associated with a non-significant increase in dementia risk in the Yoruba (homocysteine quartile 4 vs. 1 OR: 2.19, 95% CI 0.95-5.07, p = 0.066). For the African Americans, there was a similar but non-significant relationship between higher homocysteine levels and dementia risk. There were no significant relationships between levels of vitamin B12 and folate and incident dementia in either site although folate levels were lower and vitamin B12 levers were higher in the Yoruba than in the African Americans. Conclusions: Increased homocysteine levels were associated with a similar but non-significant increase in dementia risk for both Yoruba and African Americans despite significant differences in folate levels between the two sites.

    Independent and joint associations of cardiometabolic multimorbidity and depression on cognitive function: findings from multi-regional cohorts and generalisation from community to clinic
    (Elsevier, 2024-09-12) Zhao, Xuhao; Xu, Xiaolin; Yan, Yifan; Lipnicki, Darren M.; Pang, Ting; Crawford, John D.; Chen, Christopher; Cheng, Ching-Yu; Venketasubramanian, Narayanaswamy; Chong, Eddie; Blay, Sergio Luis; Lima-Costa, Maria Fernanda; Castro-Costa, Erico; Lipton, Richard B.; Katz, Mindy J.; Ritchie, Karen; Scarmeas, Nikolaos; Yannakoulia, Mary; Kosmidis, Mary H.; Gureje, Oye; Ojagbemi, Akin; Bello, Toyin; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Gao, Sujuan; Guerra, Ricardo Oliveira; Auais, Mohammad; Gomez, José Fernando; Rolandi, Elena; Davin, Annalisa; Rossi, Michele; Riedel-Heller, Steffi G.; Löbner, Margit; Roehr, Susanne; Ganguli, Mary; Jacobsen, Erin P.; Chang, Chung-Chou H.; Aiello, Allison E.; Ho, Roger; Sanchez-Juan, Pascual; Valentí-Soler, Meritxell; Del Ser, Teodoro; Lobo, Antonio; De-la-Cámara, Concepción; Lobo, Elena; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Xu, Xin; Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium (COSMIC); Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    Background: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) and depression are often co-occurring in older adults and associated with neurodegenerative outcomes. The present study aimed to estimate the independent and joint associations of CMM and depression on cognitive function in multi-regional cohorts, and to validate the generalizability of the findings in additional settings, including clinical. Methods: Data harmonization was performed across 14 longitudinal cohort studies within the Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium (COSMIC) group, spanning North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Three external validation studies with distinct settings were employed for generalization. Participants were eligible for inclusion if they had data for CMM and were free of dementia at baseline. Baseline CMM was defined as: 1) CMM 5, ≥2 among hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease and 2) CMM 3 (aligned with previous studies), ≥2 among diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Baseline depression was primarily characterized by binary classification of depressive symptom measurements, employing the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale. Global cognition was standardized as z-scores through harmonizing multiple cognitive measures. Longitudinal cognition was calculated as changes in global cognitive z-scores. A pooled individual participant data (IPD) analysis was utilized to estimate the independent and joint associations of CMM and depression on cognitive outcomes in COSMIC studies, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Repeated analyses were performed in three external validation studies. Findings: Of the 32,931 older adults in the 14 COSMIC cohorts, we included 30,382 participants with complete data on baseline CMM, depression, and cognitive assessments for cross-sectional analyses. Among them, 22,599 who had at least 1 follow-up cognitive assessment were included in the longitudinal analyses. The three external studies for validation had 1964 participants from 3 multi-ethnic Asian older adult cohorts in different settings (community-based, memory clinic, and post-stroke study). In COSMIC studies, each of CMM and depression was independently associated with cross-sectional and longitudinal cognitive function, without significant interactions between them (Ps > 0.05). Participants with both CMM and depression had lower cross-sectional cognitive performance (e.g. β = -0.207, 95% CI = (-0.255, -0.159) for CMM5 (+)/depression (+)) and a faster rate of cognitive decline (e.g. β = -0.040, 95% CI = (-0.047, -0.034) for CMM5 (+)/depression (+)), compared with those without either condition. These associations remained consistent after additional adjustment for APOE genotype and were robust in two-step random-effects IPD analyses. The findings regarding the joint association of CMM and depression on cognitive function were reproduced in the three external validation studies. Interpretation: Our findings highlighted the importance of investigating age-related co-morbidities in a multi-dimensional perspective. Targeting both cardiometabolic and psychological conditions to prevent cognitive decline could enhance effectiveness.

    Use of Antihypertensives, Blood Pressure, and Estimated Risk of Dementia in Late Life: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis
    (American Medical Association, 2023-09-05) Lennon, Matthew J.; Lam, Ben Chun Pan; Lipnicki, Darren M.; Crawford, John D.; Peters, Ruth; Schutte, Aletta E.; Brodaty, Henry; Thalamuthu, Anbupalam; Rydberg-Sterner, Therese; Najar, Jenna; Skoog, Ingmar; Riedel-Heller, Steffi G.; Röhr, Susanne; Pabst, Alexander; Lobo, Antonio; De-la-Cámara, Concepción; Lobo, Elena; Bello, Toyin; Gureje, Oye; Ojagbemi, Akin; Lipton, Richard B.; Katz, Mindy J.; Derby, Carol A.; Kim, Ki Woong; Han, Ji Won; Oh, Dae Jong; Rolandi, Elena; Davin, Annalisa; Rossi, Michele; Scarmeas, Nikolaos; Yannakoulia, Mary; Dardiotis, Themis; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Gao, Sujuan; Carrière, Isabelle; Ritchie, Karen; Anstey, Kaarin J.; Cherbuin, Nicolas; Xiao, Shifu; Yue, Ling; Li, Wei; Guerchet, Maëlenn M.; Preux, Pierre-Marie; Aboyans, Victor; Haan, Mary N.; Aiello, Allison E.; Ng, Tze Pin; Nyunt, Ma Shwe Zin; Gao, Qi; Scazufca, Marcia; Sachdev, Perminder S. S.; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    Importance: The utility of antihypertensives and ideal blood pressure (BP) for dementia prevention in late life remains unclear and highly contested. Objectives: To assess the associations of hypertension history, antihypertensive use, and baseline measured BP in late life (age >60 years) with dementia and the moderating factors of age, sex, and racial group. Data source and study selection: Longitudinal, population-based studies of aging participating in the Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium (COSMIC) group were included. Participants were individuals without dementia at baseline aged 60 to 110 years and were based in 15 different countries (US, Brazil, Australia, China, Korea, Singapore, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, and Greece). Data extraction and synthesis: Participants were grouped in 3 categories based on previous diagnosis of hypertension and baseline antihypertensive use: healthy controls, treated hypertension, and untreated hypertension. Baseline systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were treated as continuous variables. Reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses of Individual Participant Data reporting guidelines. Main outcomes and measures: The key outcome was all-cause dementia. Mixed-effects Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations between the exposures and the key outcome variable. The association between dementia and baseline BP was modeled using nonlinear natural splines. The main analysis was a partially adjusted Cox proportional hazards model controlling for age, age squared, sex, education, racial group, and a random effect for study. Sensitivity analyses included a fully adjusted analysis, a restricted analysis of those individuals with more than 5 years of follow-up data, and models examining the moderating factors of age, sex, and racial group. Results: The analysis included 17 studies with 34 519 community dwelling older adults (20 160 [58.4%] female) with a mean (SD) age of 72.5 (7.5) years and a mean (SD) follow-up of 4.3 (4.3) years. In the main, partially adjusted analysis including 14 studies, individuals with untreated hypertension had a 42% increased risk of dementia compared with healthy controls (hazard ratio [HR], 1.42; 95% CI 1.15-1.76; P = .001) and 26% increased risk compared with individuals with treated hypertension (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.03-1.53; P = .02). Individuals with treated hypertension had no significant increased dementia risk compared with healthy controls (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.99-1.28; P = .07). The association of antihypertensive use or hypertension status with dementia did not vary with baseline BP. There was no significant association of baseline SBP or DBP with dementia risk in any of the analyses. There were no significant interactions with age, sex, or racial group for any of the analyses. Conclusions and relevance: This individual patient data meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies found that antihypertensive use was associated with decreased dementia risk compared with individuals with untreated hypertension through all ages in late life. Individuals with treated hypertension had no increased risk of dementia compared with healthy controls.
