El 17 de octubre de 2014, la Fundación Ramón Areces celebró una nueva conferencia del ciclo 'Envejecimiento, Sociedad y Salud: envejecimiento y enfermedad', que organiza en colaboración con el Centro de Estudios del Envejecimiento. En esta ocasión, el doctor Valentín Fuster, director del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III- CNIC, habló sobre 'Enfermedad subclínica de corazón y cerebro: el reto de la década'. En esta entrevista previa a su intervención, deja claro que nunca es tarde para cuidarse y que la clave no está tanto en el corazón, sino en el cerebro, donde se toman las decisiones para llevar hábitos de vida saludables.

24. Early Adult to Midlife
CV Risk Factors & Cognitive Function
Studies have linked midlife and late-life CV risk factors
(CVRFs) to cognitive function, yet little is known about
CVRF exposure in early adulthood and subsequent
cognitive function. In a prospective study of 3381 adults
(age, 18-30 years at baseline) with 25 years of follow-up,
we assessed cognitive function at year 25 (2010-2011)
with the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Stroop Test, and
Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Cumulative
exposure to CVRFs from early to middle adulthood was
associated with worse cognition in midlife.

26. 4). Frailty : The Hallmarks of
Aging
Non-specific
Extreme fatigue, unexplained weight loss, frequent infections.
Falls
So-called hot fall is related to a minor illness that reduces postural
balance below a crucial threshold necessary to maintain gait
integrity. Spontaneous falls occur in more severe frailty.
Delirium
Rapid onset of fluctuating confusion and impaired awareness.
Delirium is related to reduced integrity of brain function and is
independently associated with adverse outcomes.
Fluctuating disability
Fluctuating disability is day-to-day instability.
