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].

Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

These methods can increase costs and time and are impractical in settings such as dementia clinics [6]. Dementia patients are highly affected by sarcopenia, with a prevalence of around 60%‐70% [7,8]. People living with neurodegenerative diseases are more prone to experience difficulties due to malnutrition, being sedentary, and falling; therefore, having sarcopenia increases the risk of adverse outcomes.

Intelligent Robot Interventions for People With Dementia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Intelligent Robot Interventions for People With Dementia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

As the global aging situation becomes more serious, dementia has become a highly prevalent disease in the older population [1]. The characteristic of dementia is the degradation of memory, cognition, behavior, and daily activity abilities [2]. Symptoms such as agitation and depression increase the risk of secondary problems like fractures and falls, which can seriously impair patients’ quality of life.

Moreover, the economic burden of dementia is burdensome, with global estimated economic costs of nearly US$1 trillion in 2016 [2]. Dementia encompasses a group of disorders characterized by a gradual decline in memory, reasoning, communication, and daily functioning, typically due to brain damage. Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form, followed by vascular dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies [3].

Performance of a Digital Cognitive Assessment in Predicting Dementia Stages Delineated by the Dementia Severity Rating Scale: Retrospective Study

Performance of a Digital Cognitive Assessment in Predicting Dementia Stages Delineated by the Dementia Severity Rating Scale: Retrospective Study

Compared with other scales, such as the Global Deterioration Scale [15] or the Functional Assessment Staging [16], the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) [17-19] scale appears to be the most well-studied and best-evidenced for dementia staging [20,21].
