Tea Consumption and Cognitive Performance in the Very Old
Higher Tea Consumption is Associated With Better Performance on Measures of Attention and Psychomotor Speed in the Very Old: The Newcastle 85+ Study
Studies have found a beneficial effect of tea consumption on the reduction of risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in older aged populations. However, there is a paucity of data on these associations in the very old defined as individuals aged 85 years and over. Therefore, we hypothesized that higher tea consumption was associated with better global and domain-specific cognitive function. We investigated the relationship between tea consumption in the very old and measures of global cognitive function, memory, attention and psychomotor speed.
The Newcastle 85+ Study was a longitudinal (5-years), population-based cohort study of individuals aged 85+ years in North East England, United Kingdom. The final sample included 676 community-dwelling and institutionalized men and women recruited through general medical practices.
Baseline tea consumption was assessed through a 2x24-hr multiple pass recall and longitudinal measures of global and domain specific (memory, speed and attention) cognitive function through the standardized mini-mental state examination and the cognitive drug research system. Linear mixed models, controlling for demographic (e.g. age, sex and education) and health variables were used to determine whether tea consumption was protective against cognitive decline.

Simple reaction time
大体时间:Baseline
|
Simple reaction time assessed using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) computerised system.
The CDR tasks were presented on a hi-resolution Windows-based laptop computer (Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC with keyboard accessory) and participants responded using a two-button (NO/YES) response box.
The participant is instructed to press "YES" as quickly as possible every time the word "YES" is presented on the screen.
In total, 30 "YES" stimuli are presented with varying inter-stimulus interval.

Choice reaction time assessed using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) computerised system.
The CDR tasks were presented on a hi-resolution Windows-based laptop computer (Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC with keyboard accessory) and participants responded using a two-button (NO/YES) response box.
Either the word "YES" or "NO" is presented on the screen and the participant is instructed to press the corresponding button as quickly as possible.
There are 30 trials for each stimulus word, which is chosen randomly with equal probability, with varying inter-stimulus interval.

Digit vigilance task
大体时间:Baseline
|
Digit vigilance task assessed using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) computerised system.
The CDR tasks were presented on a hi-resolution Windows-based laptop computer (Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC with keyboard accessory) and participants responded using a two-button (NO/YES) response box.
Target digit is randomly selected and constantly displayed to the right of the screen.
A series of digits (0-9) are presented in the centre of the screen at the rate of 150 per minute.
The participant is required to press the "YES" button as quickly as possible every time the digit in the series matches the target digit.
There are 300 digits in the series and the task lasts for 2 minutes.

Word recognition
大体时间:Baseline

Word recognition was assessed using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) computerised system.
The CDR tasks were presented on a hi-resolution Windows-based laptop computer (Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC with keyboard accessory) and participants responded using a two-button (NO/YES) response box.
A list of words is presented on screen for the subject to remember.
Immediately after the presentation the subject is asked to recall as many words as possible.
20 minutes later, the same list of words is presented with added distracter words.
For each word, the subject is asked to indicate whether or not it belongs o the original list by pressing 'YES' or 'NO'.
