E.; Smith L.; Grabovac I.; Haider S.; Demurtas J.; Lopez-Sanchez G. F.; SOYSAL P.; Redsell S.; IŞIK A. T.; Yang L.; SOYSAL, PINARMagnesium plays a crucial role in hundreds of bodily processes relevant to aging, but consumption of dietary magnesium intake has been shown to be inadequate in a large proportion of older adults. Identifying groups at risk of low magnesium intake is important for informing targeted advice. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2016, we examined the association between ethnicity (Caucasian/African American/Hispanic/other) and magnesium intake in a large representative sample of U.S. older adults (65 y, n = 5682, mean (SD) 72.9 (0.10) y). Analyses adjusted for total energy intake and a range of relevant covariates. Overall, 83.3% of participants were not meeting the recommended level of dietary magnesium intake, ranging from 78.1% of other ethnic groups to 90.6% of African Americans. In the fully adjusted model, magnesium intake was lower among African American older adults (-13.0 mg/d, 95% CI: -18.8 to -7.2), and higher among Hispanics (14.0 mg/d, 95% CI: 7.5 to 20.5) and those from other ethnic groups (17.2, 95% CI: 3.8 to 30.5) compared with Caucasian older adults. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions to increase magnesium intake in U.S. older adults, with a focus on African Americans, in order to reduce the burden of morbidity and ethnic inequalities in health in later life.Publication Metadata only Which Cholinesterase Inhibitor is the Safest for the Heart in Elderly Patients With Alzheimer-s Disease?(2012-05-01T00:00:00Z) ISIK, Ahmet Turan; BOZOGLU, Ergun; YAY, Adnan; Soysal, PINAR; ATESKAN, Umit; SOYSAL, PINARObjective: Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are widely used for the treatment of Alzheimer-s disease (AD); however, their cholinergic side effects on the cardiovascular system are still unclear. In this study, we aimed to examine the side effects caused by donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine on cardiac rhythm and postural blood pressure changes in elderly patients with AD. Methods: Of 204 consecutive elderly patients who were newly diagnosed with AD, 162 were enrolled and underwent comprehensive geriatric assessments. The electrocardiographs (ECGs) and blood pressures were recorded at the baseline and 4 weeks after the dose of 10 mg/d of donepezil, 10 cm2/d of rivastigmine, and 24 mg/d of galantamine. Results: There were no changes relative to the baseline in any of the ECG parameters or arterial blood pressure with any of the administered ChEIs. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that none of the 3 ChEIs were associated with increased negative chronotropic, arrhythmogenic, and hypotensive effects for the elderly patients with AD.Publication Metadata only Comment on “Association between hemoglobin level and cognitive profile in old adults: A cross-sectional survey”(2023-02-01) Soysal P.; Kara O.; SOYSAL, PINARPublication Metadata only Barriers and facilitators to physical activity among informal carers: a systematic review of international literature(2023-02-01) Lindsay R.
