The Paolillo et al.

paper added new findings to the evidence on the longitudinal relationship between
sex, perceived stress, inflammation, and cognition among a sample of community-dwelling
older adults. In their paper, the authors found a significant interaction between
mean perceived stress, sex, and time on executive function (but not in memory or processing
speed), such that higher mean perceived stress scores were associated with steeper
declines in executive functioning over time in men but not in women. In a subset of
the sample who had at inflammatory biomarker data at 2 or more timepoints, there was
a significant interaction such that higher mean perceived stress scores were associated
with greater increases in IL-6 over time in men but not in women, suggesting resilience
to executive dysfunction as a consequence of stress induced inflammation.- Paolillo EW

- PreviewChronic stress adversely affects cognition, in part due to stress-induced inflammation. Rodent models suggest females are more resilient against stress-related cognitive dysfunction than males; however, few studies have examined this in humans. We examined sex differences in the relationship between perceived stress, cognitive functioning, and peripheral inflammation over time among cognitively normal older adults.
