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.

Stress and Hypertension Among African American Female Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Protocol for a Pilot Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

Stress and Hypertension Among African American Female Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Protocol for a Pilot Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

Approximately one-third of these caregivers of individuals living with dementia acknowledge postponing or neglecting their health due to their caregiving role [1]. Given African American individuals’ heightened risk of ADRD, particularly vascular and mixed dementia, this problem disproportionately affects African American family caregivers [1].

Values of Stakeholders Involved in Applying Surveillance Technology for People With Dementia in Nursing Homes: Scoping Review

Values of Stakeholders Involved in Applying Surveillance Technology for People With Dementia in Nursing Homes: Scoping Review

As the population ages, diseases such as dementia are diagnosed more often because age is their strongest known risk factor [2,3]. Dementia is a major cause of disability and dependency, affecting cognitive abilities and behavior, leading to an inability to signal when help is needed, which is associated with safety concerns [3,4]. Compared with 2015, the number of people affected with dementia will triple by 2050 [3].
