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

Additionally, Alzheimer disease pathology, hormonal changes, and chronic inflammation are potential mechanistic links between frailty and cognitive decline. While this study focuses on social interaction, physiological dimensions such as physical activity, metabolic health, and nutritional status were not assessed to minimize the participants’ measurement burden during the 2-week survey period.

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

We involved individuals from 3 stakeholder groups, namely, family dementia caregivers, health care professionals (general practitioners, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses), and Alzheimer Society representatives. We approached HCPs of a medical university and memory clinic staff, as well as Alzheimer Society representatives, and asked for their feedback (phase 1).

A Dynamic Adaptive Ensemble Learning Framework for Noninvasive Mild Cognitive Impairment Detection: Development and Validation Study

A Dynamic Adaptive Ensemble Learning Framework for Noninvasive Mild Cognitive Impairment Detection: Development and Validation Study

Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer disease (AD) and related dementias precipitate accelerated cognitive deterioration, markedly impacting patients’ daily lives and social engagement [1]. Current estimates suggest that approximately 50 million individuals worldwide suffer from dementia, with this number expected to soar to 152 million by 2050 [2]. Generally, patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at a much higher risk of developing dementia [3].

A Multivariable Prediction Model for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Algorithm Development and Validation

A Multivariable Prediction Model for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Algorithm Development and Validation

Early detection of MCI is important for optimizing patient care, potentially enabling the timely use of disease-modifying therapies to prevent Alzheimer disease (AD) and related dementia [4]. As the life expectancy of patients with AD is approximately 8-10 years after symptom onset, preventing disease progression at an early stage is crucial [3].

Remote Passive Sensing of Older Adults’ Activities and Function: User-Centered Design Considerations for Behavioral Interventions Conducted in the Home Setting

Remote Passive Sensing of Older Adults’ Activities and Function: User-Centered Design Considerations for Behavioral Interventions Conducted in the Home Setting

Subtle decline in everyday function occurs as part of the normal aging process and as a symptom of pathologies commonly found among older adults, such as Alzheimer disease and related disorders. Likewise, stress from caregiving for older adults with chronic health conditions impacts everyday routines and behaviors such as sleep and physical activity.

Investigating Acoustic and Psycholinguistic Predictors of Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults: Modeling Study

Investigating Acoustic and Psycholinguistic Predictors of Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults: Modeling Study

Prior studies have reported speech and language declines across disease progression from early MCI to moderate-stage Alzheimer disease [6-8]. Mueller et al [8] found that subtle declines in speech fluency and semantic content are apparent even prior to the onset of clinically diagnosed MCI. Therefore, developing techniques to identify early changes in language functioning may enhance the detection of subtle cognitive decline associated with pathological cognitive aging.

The Dual Task Ball Balancing Test and Its Association With Cognitive Function: Algorithm Development and Validation

The Dual Task Ball Balancing Test and Its Association With Cognitive Function: Algorithm Development and Validation

In the presence of disease, for example, a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer disease, cognitive reserve is engaged to sustain function for as long as possible and minimize symptoms and disability. Thus, individuals with more cognitive reserve manifest symptoms or disability later than those with lower cognitive reserve; symptoms are less prominent or severe than might be expected for a given amount of pathology.
