Assessing Social Interaction and Loneliness and Their Association With Frailty Among Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline or Mild Cognitive Impairment: Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach

Assessing Social Interaction and Loneliness and Their Association With Frailty Among Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline or Mild Cognitive Impairment: Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach

We initially recruited 145 individuals from a dementia relief center and a community service center in Seoul, South Korea (SCD: n=91; MCI: n=54) between October 2022 and November 2023. The dementia relief center houses an outpatient clinic that specializes in early diagnosis and care management of dementia, whereas the community service center serves as a place for older adults to engage in recreational and wellness programs, irrespective of a dementia diagnosis.

Impact of a Virtual Reality Video ("A Walk-Through Dementia") on YouTube Users: Topic Modeling Analysis

In addition, various policy initiatives, such as those promoting the creation of “dementia-friendly communities” [4], underscore the importance of raising public awareness about dementia. These communities aim to foster environments where people understand ADRD and where individuals with dementia feel included, involved, and empowered to maintain control over their daily lives [5].

Detecting Sleep/Wake Rhythm Disruption Related to Cognition in Older Adults With and Without Mild Cognitive Impairment Using the myRhythmWatch Platform: Feasibility and Correlation Study

Detecting Sleep/Wake Rhythm Disruption Related to Cognition in Older Adults With and Without Mild Cognitive Impairment Using the myRhythmWatch Platform: Feasibility and Correlation Study

Twenty-four-hour sleep/wake characteristics, which are objectively measurable using accelerometer-containing devices, are related to both dementia biomarkers and dementia risk. Prior studies have shown that sleep/wake rhythm disruption, including fragmentation of 24-hour sleep/wake rhythms, temporally precedes the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia [1,2]. Even among adults with normal cognition, rhythm fragmentation correlates with greater brain amyloid deposition [3,4].

Identifying Unmet Needs of Informal Dementia Caregivers in Clinical Practice: User-Centered Development of a Digital Assessment Tool

Identifying Unmet Needs of Informal Dementia Caregivers in Clinical Practice: User-Centered Development of a Digital Assessment Tool

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide, with an increase to 78 million by 2030 [1]. In Germany, approximately two-thirds of the 1.8 million people with dementia are cared for at home by an informal caregiver, most often a relative [2]. Numerous studies have shown that caring for a relative with dementia is associated with a multitude of time- and resource-intensive challenges [3-5].

Improving Early Dementia Detection Among Diverse Older Adults With Cognitive Concerns With the 5-Cog Paradigm: Protocol for a Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Clinical Trial

Improving Early Dementia Detection Among Diverse Older Adults With Cognitive Concerns With the 5-Cog Paradigm: Protocol for a Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Clinical Trial

Studies have long noted deficiencies and delays in individuals receiving a dementia diagnosis [3-12]. The World Health Organization’s Global Action Plan on Dementia includes a focus on the right to a timely dementia diagnosis to enable better planning, treatment, care, support, and quality of life [13]; for example, timely diagnosis can help individuals avoid preventable accidents and injuries leading to care escalation and can reduce distress for patients and caregivers [9,14-16].

Videoconference-Delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Family Caregivers of People With Dementia: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Videoconference-Delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Family Caregivers of People With Dementia: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

These materials aimed to enhance their understanding of dementia (eg, types, stages, and symptoms), care strategies for different stages of dementia, strategies for managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, and communication techniques. Participants in the control group continued with care as usual and received the same psychoeducation materials provided by the study team.
