Eldholm, Rannveig Sakshaug; Persson, Karin Ester Torun; Barca, Maria Lage; Knapskog, Anne Brita; Cavallin, Lena; Engedal, Knut; Selbæk, Geir; Skovlund, Eva; Saltvedt, Ingvild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Abstract BACKGROUND: Vascular risk factors increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there is limited evidence on whether comorbid vascular conditions and risk factors have an impact on disease progression. The ... -
Cortisol levels among older people with and without depression and dementia
Barca, Maria Lage; Eldholm, Rannveig Sakshaug; Persson, Karin Ester Torun; Björklöf, Guro Hanevold; Borza, Tom; Telenius, Elisabeth Wiken; Knapskog, Anne-Brita; Brækhus, Anne; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Selbæk, Geir; Engedal, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)ABSTRACTCortisol dysregulation has been reported in dementia and depression.

The course of depressive symptoms with decline in cognitive function - a longitudinal study of older adults receiving in-home care at baseline
Helvik, Anne-Sofie; Barca, Maria Lage; Bergh, Sverre; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Borza, Tom (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Abstract Background: Depressive symptoms in old age are common, but the prevalence, persistence, and incidence of depressive symptoms in older adults with and without dementia receiving in-home care is less well studied, ... -
Disrupted global metastability and static and dynamic brain connectivity across individuals in the Alzheimer's disease continuum
Córdova-Palomera, Aldo; Kaufmann, Tobias; Persson, Karin; Alnæs, Dag; Doan, Nhat Trung; Moberget, Torgeir; Lund, Martina Jonette; Barca, Maria Lage; Engvig, Andreas; Brækhus, Anne; Engedal, Knut; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Selbæk, Geir; Westlye, Lars Tjelta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)As findings on the neuropathological and behavioral components of Alzheimer's disease (AD) continue to accrue, converging evidence suggests that macroscale brain functional disruptions may mediate their association. Recent ... -
Distinguishing early and late brain aging from the Alzheimer's disease spectrum: Consistent morphological patterns across independent samples
Doan, Nhat Trung; Engvig, Andreas; Zaske, Krystal; Persson, Karin; Lund, Martina Jonette; Kaufmann, Tobias; Còrdova Palomera, Aldo; Alnæs, Dag; Moberget, Torgeir; Brækhus, Anne; Barca, Maria Lage; Nordvik, Jan Egil; Engedal, Knut; Agartz, Ingrid; Selbæk, Geir; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Westlye, Lars Tjelta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating age-related neurodegenerative disorder.
