Integrating health into cognitive aging: toward a preventive cognitive neuroscience of aging.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesWe argue that age is a descriptive, and not explanatory, variable and consequently cannot account for the cognitive changes that often occur with aging. Once age is removed from consideration, other truly causal explanations for "cognitive aging" must be identified. We argue that health and disease represent an important class of explanatory variables for age-related cognitive changes. METHODS/
resultsWe make this argument first by reviewing the prevalence of risk factors, disability, and subclinical and frank disease in the elderly population. We emphasize that the complexity of health effects rivals that of age on cognition while noting that most studies of cognitive aging rarely consider this complexity fully. We then consider in more detail the "vascular hypothesis," which proposes that vascular diseases (e.g., stroke, heart disease) and their risk factors (e.g., hypertension) can explain aspects of cognitive decline in aging through their impact on circulatory and brain functions. Clinical implications of this hypothesis suggest that treatment of vascular risk factors might well reduce the incidence or severity of dementia syndromes. DISCUSSION: We conclude with a brief summary of approaches to further integrate aspects of health and disease into the study of "cognitive aging."
