Abstract

With regard to prevention and the preclinical phase of the disease, healthy elderly populations and populations with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have become crucial targets of AD research. [...]longitudinal studies follow the evolution of normal and pathological ageing over time. [...]the typical respiratory effort of apnoea episodes could worsen the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), leading to harmful impacts on cognition [8]. The importance of sleep deprivation is highlighted by the recent discovery that sleep plays а role in clearing the brain of toxic metabolic byproducts, including A6 [9]. [...]if sleep ensures the clearance of toxic metabolic by-products, the lack of sleep, or disturbed sleep, are hypothesised to reduce clearance activity and thus promote the accumulation of AB. Recommendations of the Sleep Study Group of the Italian Dementia Research Association (SINDem) on clinical assessment and management of sleep disorders in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia: a clinical review.
