Article Abstract
The link between arterial stiffness and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients on hemodialysis (HD) has been receiving increased attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and ankle brachial index (ABI) and toe brachial index (TBI) values in patients on hemodialysis. Of the 100 participants (mean age: 67.9 years; average history of hemodialysis: 7.3 years). Of these, 46.0% had MCI. The MoCA-J scores were significantly higher in the ABI ≥ 1.06 group. However, the MoCA-J scores divided into the two groups according to the TBI cutoff value were not significantly different. In a multiple regression model with the MoCA-J scores as the objective variable, the ABI was a significantly associated factor. This study indicates that a low ABI might be associated with MCI.

Early detection is a critical issue in dementia prevention. This study utilizes intra-individual variability in reaction time (IIV-RT) as an indicator of cognitive function. By analyzing data over a one-year period, we examine the association between IIV-RT and the Japanese version of the Montreal Test of Cognitive Abilities (MoCA-J), a cognitive screening test.

Objective This study investigated the effects of metacognitive training (MCT) on improving psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia who were hospitalized for long periods. Methods The participants were long-term inpatients with schizophrenia, hospitalized in a private psychiatric hospital in Japan. Participants were randomly assigned to either the occupational therapy (OT)+MCT group or the OT-alone group.

BackgroundAccurate and simple detection of cognitive decline is important for the prediction of dementia and identification of drug indications. The Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB) is useful in assessing cognitive function during the preclinical and mild cognitive impairment stages. However, whether it is beneficial for assessing brain function in older Japanese adults remains unclear.

Aim: Previous studies have suggested that sleep disruptions are related to early-stage cognitive decline. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between objective sleepiness (measured using the psychomotor vigilance test [PVT]) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), independent of sleep-related factors, among community-dwelling Japanese older adults.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 1094 participants aged ≥60 years who participated in the Toon Health Study from 2014 to 2017.
