Abstract

This study explores the biological and magical mechanisms underlying the stark differences in aging between Humans (Homo sapiens) and Elves (Homo sylvanis). While Humans experience replicative senescence due to telomere shortening and oxidative stress, Elves exhibit negligible senescence, maintaining cellular functionality across centuries. This longevity is attributed to two unique factors: an advanced telomerase regulatory system and the phenomenon of cellular repurposing. Elven telomerase extends telomeres without inducing oncogenesis, a feat achieved through a mana-mediated oncostatic factor that prevents mutagenic proliferation. Additionally, Elven cells, upon reaching replicative limits, undergo functional transformation instead of entering senescence, contributing to enhanced tissue integrity and immune responses.

Elven mitochondria further distinguish themselves through their symbiotic relationship with ambient magic, which enhances mitochondrial stability and energy production while reducing oxidative damage. This study proposes that ambient mana acts as both a regulator of biological processes and a supplementary energy source, enabling Elves to sustain prolonged vitality and resilience. In contrast, Humans lack such magical adaptations, resulting in accelerated aging, chronic inflammation, and age-related tissue degeneration. These findings highlight the profound interplay between magic and biology in Elves and offer potential avenues for adapting these mechanisms to extend Human healthspan and mitigate age-related decline.

Keywords: aging, cancer, mana, epigenetic, senescence, mutagenic proliferation, mitochondria, telomeres, oncogenesis.

Introduction

The study of aging has long been a subject of fascination and inquiry, especially when comparing the lifespans and biological processes of Humans (Homo sapiens) and Elves (Homo sylvanis). While Humans experience the inevitable decline associated with aging, including cellular senescence, tissue degradation, and increased susceptibility to disease, Elves are renowned for their extraordinary longevity, often living for centuries with minimal signs of physical or cognitive decline. This divergence raises fundamental questions about the interplay between biology and magic in shaping life processes.

In Humans, aging is driven by well-documented hallmarks, such as genomic instability (genetic damage throughout life), telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication. These processes collectively result in cellular damage, tissue dysfunction, and a decline in physiological resilience, ultimately contributing to morbidity and mortality. By contrast, Elves exhibit a near-complete absence of these age-related phenomena. Their cellular systems appear to maintain vitality indefinitely, raising the possibility of unique physiological adaptations

We have attempted to identify and categorize these cellular, magical and molecular differences. Key among these differences include an advanced telomerase regulatory system that prevents telomere shortening without inducing oncogenesis, and a phenomenon known as cellular repurposing, wherein senescent cells adopt new functional roles within the body.

Beyond these cellular processes, Elves’ relationship with magic introduces a compelling dimension to their biology that we, as Humans, dearly lack. Their mitochondria have specialized adaptations that allow them to absorb ambient magic, then proceed to convert mana into energy in addition to the conventional biochemical processes. This magical augmentation reduces oxidative stress and ensures the stability of mitochondrial function, a stark contrasts to the progressive deterioration observed in Human mitochondria. Furthermore, the mana-rich environments in which Elves thrive appear to serve as external supports, reinforcing their biological systems and delaying the onset of aging.

We have attempted to identify and categorize these cellular, magical, and molecular differences between Humans and Elves, focusing on both the biological underpinnings and the role of magic in their physiology. For the sake of clarity, this study will not delve into the evolutionary differences among the various subspecies of Elves. Instead, it will focus on the common biological and magical traits shared by Elves as a whole, comparing them to Humans to better understand the mechanisms underlying their longevity. By analyzing cellular processes, mitochondrial function, and the role of magic in Elven biology, this research seeks to shed light on the fundamental differences between these two species. The findings not only enhance our understanding of Elves and Humans but also open avenues for potential applications, such as mitigating age-related decline in Humans through the adaptation of Elven biological mechanisms.

Telomerase Regulation in Humans and Elves

Telomerase, an enzyme responsible for maintaining telomeres��the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes—plays a critical role in cellular replication and longevity. In Humans (Homo sapiens), telomerase activity is tightly restricted, being primarily active in germ cells, embryonic stem cells, and certain adult stem cells. This limitation minimizes the risk of oncogenesis but results in progressive telomere shortening with each cell division, a key driver of replicative senescence and tissue aging.

In Elves (Homo sylvanis), the regulation of telomerase is fundamentally different and involves the presence of a unique physical structure within their cells: the Telomeric Regulatory Complex (TRC). This organelle-like structure is a highly specialized addition to Elven cells, functioning as a central hub for telomere maintenance and repair. The TRC enables Elves to achieve remarkable longevity, but its eventual degradation and dysfunction are the primary reasons for Elven mortality due to aging.

The Telomeric Regulatory Complex (TRC)

The TRC is a nano-scale organelle embedded within the nucleus of every Elven cell. It serves as both a telomerase activator and a precision regulator, ensuring that telomerase activity is tightly controlled. The TRC's functions are enhanced by its integration with mana-responsive elements, which allow it to draw on ambient magical energy to fuel telomerase activity. Unlike in Humans, where telomerase is only sporadically active, the TRC ensures sustained telomere maintenance across all somatic cells.

However, the TRC is not immune to degradation. Over centuries, exposure to environmental stressors, oxidative damage, and mana fluctuations gradually erodes the TRC's efficiency. When the TRC can no longer sustain telomerase activity or maintain its structure, Elven cells begin to experience replicative senescence, ultimately leading to aging and death.

Oncostatic Factors Embedded in the TRC

The TRC is equipped with advanced oncostatic factors, a suite of proteins and regulatory molecules that actively suppress mutations, repair DNA damage, and eliminate pre-cancerous cells. These factors are embedded within the TRC itself, allowing Elves to maintain continuous telomerase activity without the heightened risk of oncogenesis that such activity would pose in Humans. The TRC's degradation in later life reduces the effectiveness of these oncostatic factors, contributing to a slight increase in cellular instability as Elves approach the end of their lifespans.

The Human-Elven Contrast

In Humans, the absence of a TRC leaves telomerase activity unregulated and confined to specific cell types, such as germ cells and some stem cells. This evolutionary tradeoff limits cancer risk but accelerates aging due to telomere attrition. By contrast, Elves benefit from the TRC's regulated telomerase activity and embedded oncostatic factors, allowing them to delay senescence for centuries. The eventual degradation of the TRC, however, demonstrates that even the most advanced biological systems have finite lifespans.

Implications for Human Longevity

The Elven TRC provides a fascinating blueprint for extending Human lifespans. If the TRC's structure and function could be replicated or adapted for Humans, it may be possible to extend telomere maintenance and mitigate aging-related decline. However, the challenge lies in replicating the mana-integrated processes of the TRC and preventing its degradation over time. Future studies might explore hybrid biological-magical constructs as a potential avenue for addressing these challenges.

Cellular Repurposing in Elves

One of the most remarkable features of Elven biology is their ability to repurpose senescent cells, a process that dramatically reduces the accumulation of non-functional cells in their tissues. In Humans (Homo sapiens), when cells reach replicative senescence—either due to telomere attrition or damage—they typically enter a state of permanent growth arrest. These senescent cells may persist in tissues, secreting inflammatory molecules and contributing to age-related degeneration. In contrast, Elves (Homo sylvanis) exhibit a unique biological mechanism known as cellular repurposing, in which senescent cells are systematically broken down and transformed into cells with alternative, simplified functions.

The Cellular Breakdown and Repurposing Process

When an Elven cell reaches the threshold of senescence, it undergoes a highly regulated breakdown sequence mediated by specialized organelles called repurposing vesicles. These vesicles are activated by signals from the Telomeric Regulatory Complex (TRC) and initiate a process that disassembles the senescent cell into its constituent components, such as proteins, organelles, and cytoplasmic materials.

Rather than being discarded, these components are reassembled to create new cells with reduced functional complexity. For instance:

Immune Cells: A white blood cell (e.g., a lymphocyte) that has reached senescence may be repurposed into a red blood cell. The resulting red blood cell is simpler in function, requiring less energy and replication while still contributing to tissue homeostasis.

Neurons and Glial Cells: In the nervous system, a senescent neuron may be broken down and reassembled into glial cells, which provide structural support and maintain the magical conductivity required for Elven neurological systems.

Epithelial Cells: Senescent epithelial cells from tissues like the skin may be converted into keratinocytes, which are more durable and energy-efficient, contributing to the maintenance of youthful skin.

This process not only prevents the accumulation of harmful senescent cells but also sustains tissue functionality and structural integrity for centuries.

Magical Integration in Cellular Repurposing

Elven cellular repurposing is closely linked to their unique mana-based biology. The repurposing vesicles rely on ambient magical energy to fuel the breakdown and reconstruction processes. Mana is used to stabilize cellular components during repurposing, preventing waste accumulation and oxidative damage. This ensures that the repurposed cells are as efficient and functional as their predecessors, albeit with fewer demands on cellular replication.

Comparative Perspective: Humans vs. Elves

In Humans, the absence of a repurposing mechanism means that senescent cells persist in tissues, often secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines and contributing to the chronic inflammation observed with aging. These so-called senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP) exacerbate tissue degeneration and age-related diseases. Additionally, the lack of efficient recycling pathways results in greater metabolic waste and cellular inefficiencies over time.

By contrast, Elves’ ability to recycle cellular materials allows them to maintain a low metabolic burden and reduces the inflammatory response associated with aging. The continual repurposing of cells also ensures a high level of tissue homeostasis, with older tissues functioning almost as efficiently as younger ones.

The Cost of Cellular Repurposing

While cellular repurposing is a highly efficient mechanism, it is not without limits. Over the course of centuries, the repurposing vesicles themselves begin to degrade, similar to the Telomeric Regulatory Complex. This degradation leads to a gradual reduction in the effectiveness of the repurposing process. As a result, Elven tissues eventually begin to accumulate non-functional or poorly repurposed cells, which contributes to the onset of age-related decline in their final centuries of life.

Elven Mitochondria: Stability Through Magic

Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are essential for energy production in both Humans (Homo sapiens) and Elves (Homo sylvanis). These organelles generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation, powering cellular processes and maintaining homeostasis. While Human mitochondria are highly efficient, they are also vulnerable to damage over time, with mitochondrial dysfunction being a hallmark of aging. In contrast, Elves possess mitochondria that are uniquely attuned to magic, enabling remarkable stability and functionality throughout their extended lifespans

Magical Integration in Elven Mitochondria

Elven mitochondria are infused with mana-conductive elements, specialized structures that allow them to interact with ambient magical energy. These elements serve two critical purposes:

Stabilizing Energy Production: Mana supplements the electron transport chain, reducing the reliance on oxidative processes and minimizing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This significantly lowers oxidative damage, a key contributor to mitochondrial aging in Humans.

Repair and Maintenance: Mana-conductive elements enable mitochondria to self-repair by facilitating the re-synthesis of damaged proteins and lipids. This continuous maintenance prevents the accumulation of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and preserves mitochondrial function over centuries.

Mana as an Alternative Energy Source

In addition to producing ATP through traditional oxidative phosphorylation, Elven mitochondria can directly convert mana into biochemical energy. This process, known as arcane phosphorylation, bypasses the need for oxygen and glucose, allowing Elves to maintain energy production even under extreme conditions, such as starvation or hypoxia. This adaptation not only enhances their survival capabilities but also reduces the metabolic burden on their bodies.

Mitochondrial-Nuclear Communication

Elven cells exhibit enhanced communication between mitochondria and the nucleus, mediated by mana-regulated signaling pathways. This ensures that the nucleus responds to mitochondrial stress signals with greater efficiency, activating repair pathways and adjusting metabolic processes in real time. By contrast, mitochondrial-nuclear communication in Humans becomes less effective with age, contributing to cellular dysfunction and systemic aging.

Human vs. Elven Mitochondria: A Comparative View

Oxidative Stress: Human mitochondria are prone to oxidative stress due to the generation of ROS during energy production. Over time, this leads to mtDNA mutations, compromised energy output, and cellular senescence. Elven mitochondria, bolstered by mana, produce significantly less ROS, maintaining stability and reducing the risk of oxidative damage.

Aging: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key driver of aging in Humans, contributing to fatigue, reduced cellular repair, and age-related diseases. Elves, by leveraging magic to sustain mitochondrial health, delay these effects for centuries.

Adaptability: While Human mitochondria rely solely on oxygen and glucose for energy production, Elven mitochondria can seamlessly transition between traditional metabolic pathways and mana-based energy systems, providing unparalleled adaptability.

Limits of Elven Mitochondrial Stability

Despite their resilience, Elven mitochondria are not immune to aging. Over centuries, the mana-conductive elements within the mitochondria degrade, reducing their ability to utilize magic for repair and energy production. This gradual decline mirrors the degradation of the Telomeric Regulatory Complex and the repurposing vesicles, marking the beginning of cellular dysfunction and the eventual onset of aging in Elves.

Conclusions and Perspectives

The biological and magical mechanisms underpinning Elven longevity provide a fascinating contrast to Human aging, highlighting the interplay between cellular regulation, magic, and evolutionary adaptation. By examining telomerase regulation, cellular repurposing, and mitochondrial stability, we have gained insight into the intricate processes that enable Elves (Homo sylvanis) to extend their lifespans far beyond those of Humans (Homo sapiens).

Elves demonstrate exceptional biological efficiency:

The Telomeric Regulatory Complex (TRC) maintains telomere length and suppresses oncogenesis, ensuring sustained cellular function for centuries. Its eventual degradation underscores the finite nature of even advanced biological systems.

Cellular repurposing eliminates senescent cells by converting them into simpler, functional counterparts, preventing the buildup of metabolic and inflammatory waste.

Mana-integrated mitochondria stabilize energy production and minimize oxidative damage, mitigating one of the central drivers of aging in Humans.

These systems collectively illustrate how magic and biology coexist in Elves, resulting in a life cycle characterized by prolonged vitality and delayed aging. Yet, even in Elves, aging is inevitable as the very structures responsible for their longevity degrade over time.

Implications for Comparative Biology and Medicine

The study of Elven biology offers intriguing possibilities for advancing Human science and medicine:

Longevity Research: Understanding the TRC and its regulation of telomerase activity may provide strategies to extend Human lifespans or combat age-related diseases.

Anti-Cancer Therapies: The oncostatic factors within the TRC could inspire new approaches to preventing or treating cancer while minimizing cellular senescence.

Mitochondrial Stability: Insights into mana-fueled mitochondrial repair and oxidative stress reduction could inform therapies for mitochondrial diseases and metabolic disorders.

Challenges and Perspectives

While the integration of magic into Elven biology provides profound advantages, replicating such systems in Humans poses significant challenges. The dependence on mana, an energy source unique to magical organisms, makes direct application to Humans difficult without a comparable energy system. Future research might focus on developing hybrid biological-magical constructs or discovering synthetic alternatives to mana.

Elves also represent a striking example of evolutionary tradeoffs. Their reliance on magical mechanisms, while advantageous for longevity, creates vulnerabilities to mana depletion and environmental fluctuations. As such, their biology serves as a reminder that no system is without limits.

Final Thoughts

The study of Elves expands our understanding of life and aging, challenging us to rethink the boundaries of biology as we know it. By examining the interplay between magic and cellular processes, we not only deepen our knowledge of fantastical organisms but also open doors to new possibilities in medicine and biotechnological innovation. The Elven ability to harmonize the mystical and the molecular presents a tantalizing vision of what might one day be achievable in Human science and beyond.

Balancing Articleship and CA Exams

You have to earn the CA (Chartered Accountancy) degree in the truest sense of the word. The course comprises a unique combination of practical experience and in-depth subject knowledge based on application. If you want to qualify as a Chartered Accountant truly you would have to gain hands-on experience along with possessing a detailed understanding of the subject. So, this brings us to a rather important question — how can you manage your CA exams and articleship? There are various techniques and tips that you can follow in this regard. However, in this blog, we have attempted to highlight some of the most important ones.

Taking the early dive

The first step that you need to take in balancing both these pursuits is to begin your exam preparations as early as possible. The task here is rather simple — you have to be ahead of your competitors. The CA exam syllabus is a rather vast one and you have to make sure that before the exam leave begins you have read the syllabus thrice over. Doing this will ensure that you are in a good position to clear the exam on the first go — keep in mind that you have only a short amount of time for this.

Squeezing out short time blocks

Remember that the office work in this case is rather demanding and so you would not have a lot of time to study and flow through your preparations as in so many other disciplines. This is why it is so important that you utilize any time block you can find to study in this case, no matter how short it is. This will help you be consistent in your pursuit of success. This means that you can study in the early mornings, on weekends, while traveling, and when you are waiting while at work.

Applying your learning

When you are working practically during your articleship you will surely encounter a few problems and issues as part of your office work. One of the worst steps that you can take in these cases is to head straightaway to a colleague or a senior so that you can get your doubts cleared. Grab this chance, open your book, and read up on the statutory provision that is applicable in this particular context. Always try to solve the problem by yourself first before you ask for help from anyone else. Remember, you will never forget a solution you have created yourself.

Learning the applications

The approach mentioned immediately above is just as important in reverse situations. This means that if you learn a new concept try to apply it to a workplace problem. For example, if you have learned about the TDS (taxes deducted at source) provisions in income tax, try to use it while reviewing the accounts books of your clients. Find out if the books are complete, correct, timely, and in compliance with said regulations or not. Not only would this fetch you the praise from your seniors it will also help you learn the subject completely.

Avoiding just-in-time studies and making space for revision blocks

Often it has been seen that CA students head to the final examination leave not having read all the subjects. They keep those away for those last-minute studies which is such a disastrous thing to do in this particular case. Simply put, it is hard to learn new concepts, revise them, and then apply them in the exam at short notice. So, reading them the first time during the final examination leave does not indeed make any sense at all. Also remember that the final examination leave is meant for revision, not first-time studies.

Avoiding social media

Even as phones get smarter and AI (artificial intelligence) learns at greater depth natural intelligence is facing the danger of consistent distraction. So, as a CA student, whenever you study you need to make it deep where you are learning really with all the focus you can muster and with complete vigor. As it is, we are always craving to know what is happening on our social media feeds — it has become an addiction rather than a habit. Such usage is damaging some parts of our cognitive brain functioning permanently.

Working efficiently in the office

Doing so will help you save time that you can use later on for studies. You have to ask yourself if you need to work those extra hours. Instead, pledge to use those working hours more efficiently. The very thought that working late nights at the office is a sign that you are working hard is wrong. A whole lot of studies have proven that if you stay late at the office it is only because you are not good enough to get it done within the stipulated time. You have to manage your office time better so that you can deliver the work on time efficiently.

Dealing with complicated topics first

As a student, it is rather normal that you would fall into the trap of taking up subjects that you feel at ease with during your preparations. In such cases, you may opt to leave the complicated ones for the end. This is a clear sign that you are procrastinating which you must avoid. Dealing with complicated subjects first is always hard and stressful. However, this is something that has to be done, and delaying it is never going to help for sure. So, if you tackle these first, and successfully so, it will feel great!

In the end, the importance of rest, rejuvenation and relaxation cannot be ignored in this particular context. A lot of times, your body and mind are affected by the toll that tight deadlines and harsh office schedules will take on you. This is why it is so important that you take some time off when you just relax, rest, and rejuvenate. There are so many ways you can do this such as taking short trips with near and dear ones, exercising regularly, meditating, indulging in some pleasant hobbies, and reading books outside the subject.

Alzheimer’s Disease

 Alzheimer’s disease is a neuro generative disorder affecting the both cognitive and behavioral affections, which significantly affects the normal functioning. The symptoms worsen over time and patients end up with progressive memory loss, trouble concentrating, loss of judgement and language skills, personality changes.

The main feature of Alzheimer’s disease is the progressive accumulation of beta amyloid plaques outside neurons in the brain. The definite cause for AD is unclear; it is attributed to plaques that develop in the hippocampus region and other areas of the cerebral cortex, which are responsible for coding and decision making.

Signs & Symptoms:

Psychological symptoms

• Progressive memory loss • Restlessness • Difficulty in understanding • Depression • Difficulty in concentrating • Aggression & Agitation • Getting lost in familiar places • Withdrawal and disinterest

Physical symptoms

• Uncoordinated movements • Muscle stiffness • Shuffling or dragging feet while walking • Twitching or seizures • Sleeplessness • Weight loss • Dysphagia • Incontinence • Forgetting daily activities like bathing, dressing, etc.

Diagnosis:

1. Instrumental activities of daily living(IADL) include assessment of skills such as driving, medication and financial management. 2. Basic activities of daily living(BADL) include assessment of activities like toileting, bathing and dressing 3. Imaging studies – CT or MRI or PET of brain is recommended to rule out possible causes for symptoms.

Management:

AD is irreversible and a progressive brain disorder, but with the help of medications and therapies AD symptoms can be managed.

Ayurveda: Alzheimer’s disease is considered in Ayurveda as a “smruthi nasha”. Vata dosha is high in alzheimer’s disease. Tamasic and rajasic gunas are imbalanced in the AD and leads to slow congnition, poor memory and difficulty in performing tasks. The main treatment principle is to balance vata, external therapies like shirodhara and abhyanga will be useful. Nasya – one of the panchakarma treatment, medicated oil is used to nostrils and which is an easy and rapid way to deliver the medicated herbs to Cerebral nervous system.

Yoga therapy: yoga therapy is known to impart bio-psycho-social well-being when implemented as a life style measure. Combination of physical poses, breathing exercise, relaxation technique and pranayama has been shown to improve functional abilities, self - esteem and level of independence in daily activity in AD. Mindful meditation, mantra chanting has proven to induce beneficial changes in the CNS dopaminergic and other neurochemical systems linked to specific regions of the brain.

Naturopathy Management:

Diet therapy: Diet plays an important role in the prevention, mitigation and prognosis of AD. Intake of fruits, dark green vegetables, nuts and polyunsaturated fatty acids help in reducing the risk of memory loss due to the presence of Vit E, folic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) & their role in preventing synaptic loss.

Choline is an essential nutrient that helps to improve cognitive function. Its major dietary sources are spinach, beet, wheat, groundnuts etc. Vit B12 & folic acid are directly responsible for pathogenesis of AD and their deficiency leads to neuronal damage and memory loss.

As weight loss is the major concern, inclusion of more proteins in the forms of legumes, pulses and nuts are advised. Use of citric fruits recommended to avoid often gastrointestinal difficulties including nausea & vomiting.

To summarize, there is sufficient evidence to recommend specific dietary modifications in clinical practice to risk reduction and management of mild cognitive impairment /AD.

Acupuncture: The action of acupuncture is more pronounced in post-acupuncture resting state and indicates a sustainable effect. This improvement is mainly by enhancing the hippocampal connectivity, which is otherwise impaired in AD. Acupuncture improves cognitive function by enhancing glucose metabolism and neurotransmission and reducing the oxidative stress, A beta protein deposition and neuronal apoptosis. Acupuncture is shown to influence and activate the impaired brain regions in AD patients.

Heliotherapy: Sun exposure is found to be associated with an increase in heuristic processing, which requires memory storage and relevant memory retrieval. Hence sun bath can be included as a therapeutic tool in the management of AD.

Melatonin & serotonin are the two neurotransmitters regulated by the supra chiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Both of them are influenced by sunlight, whose role in cognitive defects in AD is well established

helps in preventing and improving symptoms and quality of life for patients and caregivers. They stimulate different parts of the brain based on various steps of practice, which includes pranayama, asana, chanting and different forms of concentrations.

Conclusion:

Combination of Ayurveda, yoga & naturopathy help AD patients to manage the symptoms & prevents the further progression.

Olfactory Dysfunction is Associated with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

This article is written based on the presentation done by Prof Wang De Yun at the NUS Psychiatry Symposium on Ageing-in-Place held on 27 Apr 2023. Olfactory impairment, or more commonly referred to as sense of smell, is ageing related. The ability to detect and identify smell has also long been linked with cognitive decline in older adults. However, there remains questions on its association with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and by extension, dementia.

As part of the Yeo Boon Khim Mind Science Centre’s Community Health and Intergenerational (CHI) Study, Prof Wang De Yun from NUS Department of Otolaryngology, conducted a study to assess the olfactory function of community-dwelling older adults in Singapore and its link with their cognitive function. For this study, researchers at NUS developed a localised version of the nine-item smell test to better screen the population. 

Smell ability as a predictive tool for Cognitive Impairment

When it comes to modifiable risks of dementia, the focus is often on vision and hearing impairments rather than smell impairment. Nonetheless, there are studies indicating a potential link between smell identification ability and MCI.

A meta-analysis found that smell identification is impaired in those with MCI compared with healthy older adults. Longitudinal studies also showed that cognitively healthy individuals with smell impairments at baseline subsequently developed MCI in the follow-up.

The evidence suggests that smell identification has the potential to detect and predict the risks of developing dementia in later life.

To the best of our knowledge, there has yet to be any study examining smell function in Singapore’s healthy and/or cognitively impaired community-dwelling older adult population. Mind Science Centre’s study aimed to assess their smell identification ability and associate the outcomes with their cognitive status.

Culture specific smell test developed in NUS

The original nine-item smell test developed by the University of Pennsylvania (UPSIT) included items as liquorice, dill pickle, and skunk. These are not common in Singapore and participants often struggle to recognise and identify them.

To better screen and evaluate smell function in Singapore’s older adult population, our researchers recognised a need to create a localised version of the smell test that is culture-specific to our population. Researchers in NUS developed the Singapore version of the 9-items Smell Test Panel based on a local smell familiarity survey. This includes almond, banana, cinnamon, coconut, lemon, orange, pineapple, rose, and mushroom.

Beyond this study, other clinicians and researchers could also benefit from this locally developed smell test to better screen their patients or research participants.

Participants aged 60 years and above were recruited from a larger epidemiological study titled Community Health and Intergenerational (CHI) study. The smell test and neuropsychological testing are part of a 10-hour assessment done over five separate visits. More details on that can be found in the CHI study protocol.

Smell Tests For Cognitive Impairment

The locally developed nine-item smell test was used to assess smell detection and identification. The test was conducted in an interview format with each odour sample (in total 9) given only once. Between each odour, there was at least a 30-second time interval to prevent sensory fatigue.

For the smell detection task, participants were asked to respond yes or no based on their perception of the presence of an odour. Each successful detection was scored a point.

For the smell identification task, participants were asked to identify the same test odour before choosing through 4 narrated answer choices. If they thought none of the answer choices matched the test odour, they were allowed to describe the odour instead. Each successful identification was scored a point.

Cognitive Function Tests - Testing for Cognitive Impairment

Participants’ cognition was measured with the modified mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scale, clinical dementia rating (CDR) scale, and a validated battery of neurocognitive tests. The protocol is described in more details here.

Diagnosis of the participants’ cognitive status was made at consensus review meetings involving two psychiatrists and a neuropsychologist. Participants were categorised into normal active ageing, MCI, or dementia and further subtyped as amnestic or non-amnestic, and single or multiple domain.

NA (normal ageing)

naMCI_SD (non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment, single domain)

naMCI_MD (non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment, multiple domains)

aMCI_SD (amnestic mild cognitive impairment, single domain)

aMCI_MD (amnestic mild cognitive impairment, multiple domains)

Dementia
