Quantitative Research on Digitalized Treatment Options for Older Adults With Mental Illness: Scoping Review

Quantitative Research on Digitalized Treatment Options for Older Adults With Mental Illness: Scoping Review

These interventions were based on the assumption that playing and listening to music via digital devices would have a positive effect on people with dementia. A total of 40% (2/5) of the studies found that listening to music was associated with decreased agitation and apathy among people with dementia [65,81].

Design of a Mobile App and a Clinical Trial Management System for Cognitive Health and Dementia Risk Reduction: User-Centered Design Approach

Design of a Mobile App and a Clinical Trial Management System for Cognitive Health and Dementia Risk Reduction: User-Centered Design Approach

The rising prevalence of dementia, driven by sociodemographic changes, constitutes a significant global health challenge. Projections indicate a notable rise from 57 million affected individuals in 2019 to an anticipated 153 million by 2050 [1]. Notably, the Lancet Commission’s report underscores that approximately 45% of all cases of dementia are associated with 14 potentially modifiable risk factors at different phases of the life span [2], and diet has also been suggested as an additional factor [3].

The Rapid Online Cognitive Assessment for the Detection of Neurocognitive Disorder: Open-Label Study

The Rapid Online Cognitive Assessment for the Detection of Neurocognitive Disorder: Open-Label Study

Current projections estimate 150 million patients with dementia worldwide by 2050, with 57 million as of 2019 [1]. This causes considerable health care system strain, leaving a majority of patients undiagnosed [2-5]. However, for the patients who do receive a diagnosis, it often takes 3 years or longer from symptom onset [2,3,6-8]. The next step, that is, receiving an etiological diagnosis like Alzheimer disease, requires even more time [4,8].

Perspectives and Experiences of Family Caregivers Using Supportive Mobile Apps in Dementia Care: Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Research

Perspectives and Experiences of Family Caregivers Using Supportive Mobile Apps in Dementia Care: Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Research

The phenomenon of an aging global population has significantly impacted the prevalence of dementia [1]. According to the World Alzheimer Report (2023), the global population of persons with dementia is anticipated to increase from 55 million in 2019 to 139 million by 2050 [2]. Dementia is a chronic, long-term, progressive disease [3].

Effectiveness of Walking Prescription Using Mobile Health Technology on the Changes in Daily Steps in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment: Randomized Controlled Study

Effectiveness of Walking Prescription Using Mobile Health Technology on the Changes in Daily Steps in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment: Randomized Controlled Study

Physical activity (PA) is protective against age-related cognitive decline and incidence of dementia in older adults [1,2]. It can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can also increase the psychological well-being of the aging population [3]. Even in older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive disorder (MCI) or dementia, moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA can effectively delay cognitive deterioration and prevent comorbid physical illnesses [4,5].

Culturally Adapted STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training and Follow-Up for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Single-Arm Pre-Post Mixed Methods Study

Culturally Adapted STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training and Follow-Up for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Single-Arm Pre-Post Mixed Methods Study

By 2060, the number of Latinos with ADRD is expected to grow by 832%, which is the steepest increase in ADRD compared to any other racial or ethnic group, and projections show that by 2060, a total of 3.5 million Latinos will be living with dementia [2,3]. Latinos with dementia primarily rely on family members for their care due to the high cost of formal dementia care, legal status, barriers to accessing dementia care services, language preferences, and cultural preferences [4,5].

Web-Based Education Program for Care Partners of People Living With Dementia (iGeriCare): Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Web-Based Education Program for Care Partners of People Living With Dementia (iGeriCare): Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

People living with dementia rely on family care partners to provide support, most often without any formal dementia education. In Canada, at least 486,000 people identify as caring for an individual with dementia [1]; many more constitute informal family or friend care partners. By 2025, Canada will have more than 1 million care partners for people living with dementia who will provide an estimated 1.4 billion hours of care annually [1-5].

Stigma of Dementia on Social Media During World Alzheimer’s Awareness Month: Thematic Analysis of Posts

Stigma of Dementia on Social Media During World Alzheimer’s Awareness Month: Thematic Analysis of Posts

Dementia is a significant global health concern. Worldwide, there are an estimated 10 million new cases of dementia annually, with one new diagnosis every 3.2 seconds [1]. In 2019, the global financial cost of dementia was approximately US$ 1.3 trillion [2]. It is estimated that 57 million people live with dementia, with this number projected to triple to 153 million by 2050 with population growth and aging [3]. Although dementia is a global issue, there is limited knowledge and awareness about dementia.

Longitudinal Remote Sleep and Cognitive Research in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Prospective Feasibility Cohort Study

Longitudinal Remote Sleep and Cognitive Research in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Prospective Feasibility Cohort Study

Several small studies of sleep apnea treatment have demonstrated improvement in cognitive outcomes and blood biomarkers of Aβ and tau, suggesting that sleep interventions could improve prognosis in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia [7-9]. Poor quality or insufficient sleep in midlife increases the risk of all-cause dementia and MCI [10,11], indicating that improving sleep may also protect against dementia.

Size and Composition of Caregiver Networks Who Manage Medications for Persons Living With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Analysis of the 2011-2022 National Health and Aging Trends Study

Persons living with dementia frequently take multiple medications due to comorbid conditions and pharmacologic attempts to manage the behavioral symptoms of dementia [1]. Family caregivers, or spouses, children, and friends who provide care for persons living with dementia, are often responsible for medication management [2].
