Aerobic exercise, intensive blood pressure and cholesterol reduction, or both did not show differences in cognitive function improvement over 24 months among older adults with family history of #dementia or subjective #cognitive decline.

⭐ META-ANALYSIS: Hospital delirium --> devastating long-term outcomes
253 studies, 137,000+ pts:
• 5.4x dementia risk
• 2.8x institutionalisation
• 2.5x mortality
• 1.7x readmission
⚠️ Delirium = a serious acute problem AND a risk warning.
➡️ All pts deserve robust delirium assessment

🫀What is the relationship between adult cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and dementia risk? 🫀
Newly published research in #DADM demonstrate high CRF is longitudinally associated with a lower risk of late-onset dementia (🧵1/2)

#Delirium is not “just confusion”, it is a major prognostic event in CV medicine.
In our State-of-the-Art Review in #EHJ, we synthesize current evidence on mechanisms, prevention, and management across the CV continuum. 🧠🫀

Yet more evidence that haloperidol is not a sedative.
RCT to ⬇️ agitation in palliative care #delirium
1⃣haloperidol
2⃣lorazepam
3⃣halop + loraz
4⃣placebo
Haloperidol monotherapy was not more efficacious than placebo in reducing RASS.

We reassessed the @TheLancet 14 dementia risk factors and added poverty, wealth shocks, income inequality, & HIV. This provides a larger estimation of preventable dementia & exposes gender inequities with larger burdens in women. Out in @eBioMedicine bit.ly/4nU30fU.
