Inflammatory proteins in plasma and the risk of dementia: the rotterdam study. (2004, result): “Whether the levels of ACT and IL-6 are increased before the onset of dementia is yet unknown, although the recent finding of an association between the level of IL-6 and cognitive decline suggests elevated IL-6 levels before dementia.(8,9) To our knowledge, no studies examined the association betwee”
Inflammatory mediators in the elderly. (2004, background): “…Health ABC study, in a large cohort of 3031 well-functioning white and black Americans aged 70–79, high baseline plasma levels of IL-6 and CRP were associated with poorer cognitive performance at baseline and with a greater risk of cognitive decline over 2 years of follow-up (Yaffe et al., 2003).”
