A Longitudinal Study of Neurocognition in Dementia with Lewy Bodies Compared to Alzheimer`s Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03)Introduction: There are relatively few longitudinal studies on the differences in cognitive decline between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and the majority of existing studies have suboptimal ... -
Association Between Amygdala Volume and Trajectories of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia With Lewy Bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)Introduction: The amygdala is implicated in psychiatric illness. Even as the amygdala undergoes significant atrophy in mild dementia, amygdala volume is underexplored as a risk factor for neuropsychiatric symptoms ... -

Body mass index trajectories and associations with cognitive decline in people with Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background and Aims In older adults with dementia, low body mass index (BMI) is associated with higher mortality and other adverse health outcomes. BMI or nutritional status trajectories from diagnosis have not yet been ... -
Caring for home‐dwelling parents with dementia: A qualitative study of adult‐child caregivers' motivation

The combined effect of amyloid-β and tau biomarkers on brain atrophy in dementia with Lewy bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07)Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related pathology is frequently found in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). However, it is unknown how amyloid-β and tau-related pathologies influence neurodegeneration in ... -
Early constipation predicts faster dementia onset in Parkinson's disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Constipation is a common but not a universal feature in early PD, suggesting that gut involvement is heterogeneous and may be part of a distinct PD subtype with prognostic implications. We analysed data from the Parkinson’s ... -
Frailty in Older Adults with Mild Dementia: Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer’s Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04)Introduction: The aim of the study is to describe the frequency of frailty in people with a new diagnosis of mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Methods: This is a secondary ... -

Kynurenines, Neuropsychiatric Symptoms, and Cognitive Prognosis in Patients with Mild Dementia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)Introduction: Circulating tryptophan (Trp) and its downstream metabolites, the kynurenines, are potentially neuroactive. Consequently, they could be associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive prognosis in ... -
The individual course of neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s and Lewy body dementia: 12-year longitudinal cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)Introduction Understanding the natural course of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in dementia is important for planning patient care and trial design, but few studies have described the long-term course of NPS in ... -
The value of cerebrospinal fluid alpha-synuclein and the tau/alpha-synuclein ratio for diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders with Lewy pathology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07)Background and purpose Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are three of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Up to 20% of these patients have the wrong diagnosis, ... -
Tongue muscle mass is associated with total grey matter and hippocampal volumes in Dementia with Lewy Bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02)Background Age-related neurodegeneration, sarcopenia, and ectopic fat accumulation are conditions with shared pathways that remain poorly understood. We have measured muscle volume and fat accumulation in masseter and ...
