Findings – Connecting with people who are in the later stages of dementia is of central importance in offering person-centred relational care. Originality/value – The PACE principles described are original and are published here for the first time....
Applying a life-course approach could improve the understanding of the link between education and dementia [26,27,28]. Identifying the factors that mediate the relationship between education and dementia risk at different life stages—early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood—can help pin...
(Palmqvist et al., 2016), providing a powerful model to study the interplay between amyloid│and tau at the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. We included 730 participants without dementia (282 cognitively normal, 448 MCI) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database with ...
Depression and dementia exhibit a bidirectional relationship. Depression in mid-to-late life increases risk for AD and all-cause dementia [14,173,174]. Depression can also be a precursor to or symptom of dementia, with prevalence rates ranging from 17 to 56% across all stages of AD [175]....
Barriers to establishing a sense of purpose should be explored in the context of the social determinants of health, systemic inequity, and cultural bias. Consequently, the role of purpose in reducing dementia risk across different life stages needs to be further examined in diverse populations and ...
Education, as a proxy for cognitive reserve, may be neuroprotective during normal aging stages, but these effects can turn negative in late amnestic MCI and mild Alzheimer's dementia, says study.
It is considered that 15.07 million Chinese people age 60 and older are currently living with dementia, and the prevalence of dementia is believed to double at 5-year intervals (2), posing a huge threat to public health. Cognitive decline refers to the gradual deterioration of cognitive ...
A review of key learnings from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing homes in Ireland can inform planning for future pandemics. This study describes barriers and facilitators contributing to COVID-19 outbreak management from the perspective of
There needs to be more of a focus on the prevention of cardiovascular disease at the earlier stages of life, Burgner said, rather than a reactive approach that waits until the afflictions are already present during adulthood, but within the scope of infection possibly being a root cause, he ...
This paper describes the process of carrying out the research, and presents a flavour of some of the information captured on context and local understanding of dementia risk. It then goes on to discuss in more depth some of the challenges in attempting to involve people in shaping research and...
