Deans' stroke musings: Association between caffeine intake and cognitive function in adults; effect modification by gender: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Association between caffeine intake and cognitive function in adults; effect modification by gender: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2014

I really need to know what the highest quartile is. I need to know if my 12 cups a day is enough. WHO DO I ASK?

Association between caffeine intake and cognitive function in adults; effect modification by gender: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2014

Clinical Nutrition — Iranpour S, et al. | September 19, 2019

Using data from the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES), researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to explore the connection between caffeine intake and cognitive function. The study sample consisted of 1,440 adults aged ≥ 60 years. Only the highest quartile of caffeine intakes was positively linked to the cognitive function in the crude model and also trend existed in all of the dimensions. The connection was marginally important in CERAD Word List Recall Test, but was not meaningful in other dimensions of cognitive function after adjusting for potential confounders (age, gender, family income, education, marital status, history of disease, sleep disorders, thyroid problems, physical activity, social support, smoking, and some nutrients). In regards to the CERAD Word List Recall Test, a statistically significant interaction between caffeine consumption and gender was observed. In older adults, there was generally a weak positive link between intake of caffeine and cognitive performance that was modified by gender. Therefore, the relationship between male and female was stronger.
