Objective:
Studies on vulnerability to interference have shown promise in distinguishing between normal and pathological aging, such as the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI). However, these studies did not include a non-semantic condition essential in distinguishing between what is attributable specifically to semantic memory impairments and more generalized vulnerability to interference. The present study aimed to determine whether the increased vulnerability to semantic interference previously observed in individuals at increased risk of AD (aMCI) is specifically associated with the semantic nature of the material, or if it also affects other types of material, suggesting more generalized executive and inhibitory impairment.
Participants and Methods:Seventy-two participants (N = 72) divided into two groups (33 aMCI and 39 NC) matched for age and education were included in the study. They underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological examination, and took the adapted French version of the LASSI-L (semantic interference test), as well as a homologous experimental phonemic test, the TIP-A. Independent sample t-tests, mixed ANOVA and ANCOVA on memory and vulnerability to interference scores with the Group (NC, aMCI) as between-group factor and the Type of material (semantic, phonemic) as within-subject factor were conducted to compare memory and interference in both contexts for both groups.
Results:For all memory scores, results revealed a significant main effect of group (NC > aMCI), a significant main effect of the type of material (semantic > phonemic) and a significant Group x Type interaction (disproportionately poorer performance in a semantic context for aMCI compared to NC). Word recognition was equivalent in both contexts for aMCI, whereas NC were better in a semantic context. aMCI also committed more phonemic false recognition errors, were disproportionately more vulnerable to retroactive semantic interference and showed a disproportionately higher percentage of intrusion errors associated with proactive semantic interference than NC.
Conclusions:To our knowledge, this is the first study to meticulously compare aMCI and elderly control vulnerability to inter-list interference and its impact on memory processes in two very similarly designed conditions using different types of material (semantic vs. phonemic). Indeed, many studies on interference focused solely on intra-list buildup of interference or on semantic material. Taken together, our results suggest that aMCI patients present generalized difficulties in source memory and inhibition, but that their inability to benefit normally from the depth of processing of semantic material results in even more semantic intrusion errors during proactive interference. This superficial semantic processing also significantly impacts the ability of aMCI to show good recall after being exposed to an interference list and the passage of time, resulting in a greater vulnerability to semantic retroactive interference than controls. In summary, our results suggest that impairment of semantic memory, and, more precisely, the loss of benefit from the depth of semantic processing, represents the cornerstone of their memory and vulnerability to interference patterns. The classical level of processing theory therefore constitutes an ideal, simple framework to predict aMCI patients’ performance when facing interference, a parallel too rarely addressed in the literature.

Objective:
Semantic memory deficits have been reported in both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). However, the nature of this decline is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to explore the patterns of semantic memory impairment in aMCI by examining performance on naming tasks, and on tests assessing both general and specific semantic knowledge.
Participants and Methods:Participants were divided in two groups matched for age and education, one comprising 33 aMCI individuals and the other 39 healthy controls. Three experimental tests assessing naming and semantic knowledge of unique items of famous persons (FACE) and places (PLACE), logos recognition (LOGO: brands and pictograms), and non-unique entities (Boston Naming Test: BNT) were administered, and the performance of the two groups was compared.
Results:Lower scores were observed on all naming tests (PLACE, FACE, LOGO and BNT) in the aMCI group compared to controls. On the PLACE test, the general knowledge mean score (M=84.5, SD=12.9) was significantly higher than the specific knowledge mean score (M=54.2, SD=18.5) in aMCI participants (t(31)=11.9, p<.001), but not in controls (general: M=92.2, SD=11.1; specific: M=73.7, SD=15.8), and there was a significant Group X Type of knowledge interaction (F(1,1)=15.13, p <.001, n2 = 18). On the FACE test, in addition to significant group and condition (naming, semantic questions) main effects, a significant interaction was found (F(1,1)=7.19, p = .009, n2 = .09). On the LOGO task, controls were significantly better on brand items (M= 94.4, SD=10.5) than on pictograms (M=83.3, SD=12.2), while no significant difference was noted in aMCI (brands: M=81.5, SD=22.6; pictograms: M=77.5, SD=14.1). Lastly, on the BNT, aMCI participants benefited more from phonemic cues than controls (F(1,1)=16.56, p<.001, n2=19), suggesting a lexical access deficit, in addition to their semantic memory impairment.
Conclusions:This study adds to the growing evidence confirming the presence of semantic memory deficits in aMCI. Specific semantic knowledge seems to be more affected than general semantic knowledge, a finding reported in previous studies. Lexical access deficits, in addition to semantic decline, were also observed in the aMCI group. These results allow for a better understanding of the pattern of semantic memory deficits in the prodromal stage of AD and could potentially facilitate diagnosis of aMCI.

We present the development of a regional dementia strategy in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. We worked with stakeholders in a regional health authority to develop a dementia strategy. We conducted interviews with persons with dementia and their care partners (n = 26) and health care administrators and policy makers (n = 33); and administered a priority-setting survey (n = 64). Both participant groups identified provider compassion, professionalism, and care in the early stages of dementia as system strengths. Both groups also highlighted a need for more integration and coordination, a need for more person-centred care, support for care partners, and more flexibility in the provision and receipt of services. The highest-ranked priorities were improving care partner support, improving access to care, and improving system-wide quality. We integrate these strengths, needs, and priorities in a strategic framework, “Whole Person, Whole Journey”. Organizations developing a dementia strategy may use this framework as a springboard for their own work.

BMI z (BMIz) score based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts is widely used, but it is inaccurate above the 97th percentile. We explored the performance of alternative metrics based on the absolute distance or % distance of a child’s BMI from the median BMI for sex and age. We used longitudinal data from 5628 children who were first examined <12 years to compare the tracking of three BMI metrics: distance from median, % distance from median and % distance from median on a log scale. We also explored the effects of adjusting these metrics for age differences in the distribution of BMI. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to compare tracking of the metrics. Metrics based on % distance (whether on the original or log scale) yielded higher ICCs compared with distance from median. The ICCs of the age-adjusted metrics were higher than that of the unadjusted metrics, particularly among children who were (1) overweight or had obesity, (2) younger and (3) followed for >3 years. The ICCs of the age-adjusted metrics were also higher compared with that of BMIz among children who were overweight or obese. Unlike BMIz, these alternative metrics do not have an upper limit and can be used for assessing BMI in all children, even those with very high BMIs. The age-adjusted % from median (on a log or linear scale) works well for all ages, while unadjusted % from median is better limited to older children or short follow-up periods.

Objective
Household food access remains a concern among primarily agricultural households in lower- and middle-income countries. We examined the associations among domains representing livelihood assets (human capital, social capital, natural capital, physical capital and financial capital) and household food access.
DesignCross-sectional survey (two questionnaires) on livelihood assets.
SettingMetropolitan Pillaro, Ecuador; Cochabamba, Bolivia; and Huancayo, Peru.
SubjectsHouseholds (n 570) involved in small-scale agricultural production in 2008.
ResultsFood access, defined as the number of months of adequate food provisioning in the previous year, was relatively good; 41 % of the respondents indicated to have had no difficulty in obtaining food for their household in the past year. Using bivariate analysis, key livelihood assets indicators associated with better household food access were identified as: age of household survey respondent (P = 0·05), participation in agricultural associations (P = 0·09), church membership (P = 0·08), area of irrigated land (P = 0·08), housing material (P = 0·06), space within the household residence (P = 0·02) and satisfaction with health status (P = 0·02). In path models both direct and indirect effects were observed, underscoring the complexity of the relationships between livelihood assets and household food access. Paths significantly associated with better household food access included: better housing conditions (P = 0·01), more space within the household residence (P = 0·001) and greater satisfaction with health status (P = 0·001).
ConclusionsMultiple factors were associated with household food access in these peri-urban agricultural households. Food security intervention programmes focusing on food access need to deal with both agricultural factors and determinants of health to bolster household food security in challenging lower- and middle-income country contexts.

Background: In contrast to a wealth of research on the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), there is a relative paucity of work examining how OCD begins. Available data suggest that there is often a slow progression from the onset of symptoms to meeting criteria for a diagnosis of OCD. Aims: The current study sought to add to existing data documenting the slow-development of OCD, and to extend previous findings by examining potential moderators of this symptom phase and to examine patients’ explanations for the transition from symptoms to disorder. Method: One hundred and ninety-nine individuals with OCD reported on the start of their symptoms and the disorder via an internet-based survey. Results: Over two-thirds of respondents reported that the development of their OCD was gradual. Further, participants reported having experienced obsessions and/or compulsions for an average of 5 years before experiencing full-blown OCD. This extended symptom phase was observed in individuals with early- and late-onset OCD, with an even more protracted symptom phase in the later group. Female gender and onset of compulsions prior to obsessions were also associated with slower progression to full-blown OCD. Finally, explanations for the transition from symptoms to disorder suggest that changes in daily routines and general stress may be particularly important in this transition for individuals that develop clinical OCD at age 18 or later. Conclusions: Existence of a protracted symptom phase may present opportunities for elucidating risk factors for OCD disease progression and a window of opportunity for indicated prevention programs.
