The relationship between alcohol consumption and cognition is still controversial. This is a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in Caeté (MG), Brazil, where 602 individuals aged 75+ years, 63.6% female, and with a mean education of 2.68 years, were submitted to thorough clinical assessments and categorized according to the number of alcoholic beverages consumed weekly. The prevalence rates of previous and current alcohol consumption were 34.6% and 12.3%, respectively. No association emerged between cognitive diagnoses and current/previous alcohol consumption categories...

This study aimed to explore the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and potential associations (i.e., strength and direction) with caregiver characteristics or factors. A targeted survey was distributed to dementia caregivers aged 55+ years. Questions concerning psychological distress, suicidal thoughts while caregiving and antecedents of suicidal behaviours were administered. A sample of 71 French-speaking Canadian caregivers completed the survey between May and October 2019. Among them, 52.1 per cent ( n = 37) reported suicidal ideation while providing care to a relative or a friend living with dementia...

Worldwide, over 55-million people have dementia, and the number will triple by 2050. Persons living with dementia are exposed to risks secondary to cognitive challenges including getting lost. The adverse outcomes of going missing include injuries, death, and premature institutionalization. In this scoping review, we investigate risk factors associated with going missing among persons living with dementia. We searched and screened studies from four electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and Scopus), and extracted relevant data...

Delirium is a commonly encountered syndrome in clinical practice. Older people with cognitive disorders are most at risk of developing delirium during the hospital stay. However, the risk of underdiagnosis is significant, particularly because of the overlap of behavioral symptoms and cognitive impairment between delirium and dementia. With an aging population and an ever-increasing prevalence of cognitive disorders, this article exposes the bilateral relationship maintained between dementia and delirium and bring certain diagnostic tools and clinical management clues to support the clinician...

In 2020, the fifth Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia (CCCDTD5) published up-to-date recommendations for the clinical management of persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers. During the CCCDTD5 meetings, a list of recommendations for dementia care was compiled. With the aid of family physicians and the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging, we selected the most relevant CCCDTD5 recommendations for primary care and tailored and summarized them in the present manuscript to facilitate their reference and use...

Dance for older adults is increasingly being used to support health and well-being. While dance may be enjoyable for many, understanding its benefits for those with limited physical and cognitive abilities may provide further support for how dance may be used in these contexts. This was a study of Sharing Dance Older Adults , a dance program with remotely streamed sessions. Data were collected from 48 older adults who took part in the On Your Feet version of the program, and from 38 who took part in the In Your Seat version...

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a group of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily functioning and independence. While Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause, dementia in old aged persons represents rather a syndrome caused by various underlying conditions and diseases. Successful treatment allows for the individual clinical picture, and should be aimed at helping the patient regarding his cognitive deficits, behavioral and psychiatric complaints, sleep disorders, as well as management of daily life...

Recruiting persons with dementia for clinical trials can be challenging. Building on a guide initially developed to assist primary-care-based memory clinics in their efforts to support research, a key stakeholder working group meeting was held to develop a standardized research recruitment process, with input from patients, care partners, researchers, and clinicians. Discussions in this half-day facilitated meeting focused on the wishes and needs of patients and care partners, policy and procedures for researchers, information provided to patients, and considerations for memory clinics...

Rapidly progressive dementia is distinguished from other neurocognitive disorders by its rapid onset (less than two years from first symptoms to diagnosis). It comprises a wide range of etiologies, including Creutzfledt-Jakob disease and Alzheimer's disease. When faced with a recent and rapid onset of major cognitive impairment, it is essential to rule out delirium or any other cause that may lead to rapid cognitive decline (such as stroke, encephalitis, or epileptic seizure). The work-up is based on a detailed history (drugs, exposure, medical history), a thorough clinical examination, and a broad biological work-up including MRI, lumbar puncture and EEG...

Our study aimed to explore how perceived baseline contact may influence acceptability of Connecting Today , a personal contact intervention, among people living with dementia. We aimed to generate hypotheses for testing in future studies. This was a sub-group analysis of pilot study data. Fifteen people living with mild to moderate dementia participated in Connecting Today. We explored how perceptions of intervention acceptability may differ in groups reporting weekly contact ( n = 8) compared with groups reporting monthly/unknown ( n = 7) contact at baseline...

Principal goal of the article is to inform health care professionals about the concept of dementia-friendly community (DFC) reflecting the contemporary thinking of living with dementia, i.e. dementia as a disability, equal human rights, a sense of meaning. Experiences from abroad and from the Czechia are discussed with special attention to implementation of this concept in the health care facilities. The National Action Plan for Alzheimer´s Disease 2020-2030 (NAPAN) is presented, which shows that the Czech Government, ministries, specialists, care providers, informal careers and even the people with dementia worked together on the improvement in this field...

The brain is among the target organs of hypertension. Patients with hypertension have a higher risk of developing stroke as well as experiencing a decline in cognitive functions and dementia. Changes in the white matter and atrophy of the grey matter of the brain induced by high blood pressure develop insidiously since the onset of hypertension, even in young individuals. The effect of high blood pressure on the vessel wall cumulates in time; therefore, hypertension in younger people implies an increased risk of dementia in older age...

Delirium (or Acute Confusional State) refers to an acute alteration of attention, consciousness, and cognitive performance. Particularly the hypoactive subtype of delirium represents a diagnostic and clinical challenge. As symptoms of hypoactive delirium may overlap with the clinical picture present in dementia and depression, correct diagnostic differentiation can be challenging. In the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, hypoactive delirium can last for several weeks. Apart from the health consequences for the patient, such a long course can stress caregivers and the family to their very limit...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on older adults and their family caregivers (FCGs). For FCGs, the pandemic has impacted almost every dimension of their lives and caregiving routines, from their own risk of becoming ill to their access to resources that support caregiving. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 on FCGs' ability to provide care for their family member with dementia. A total of 115 FCGs who identified as having their family member living with dementia residing in the community completed the survey...

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is characterized by degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes. Classic symptoms include behavioural alterations and executive dysfunction. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease of the first and second motoneurones, as well as of cortical neurons, presenting with weakness and wasting of the limb, respiratory and bulbar muscles. Accumulation of a mis-localized protein in the neuronal cytoplasma is the main neuropathological marker of ALS but has also been described in certain FTD-variants...

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is one of the most common causes of dementia, after Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia. Its diagnosis remains a challenge for the clinician because of the variety of clinical presentations and comorbidities. The diagnosis is based on clinical criteria such as cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, progressive cognitive impairment, Parkinsonian signs and REM sleep behavioral disorder. Although not specific, biomarkers are helpful for increasing the likelihood of LBD diagnosis and for differentiating LBD from other differential diagnoses such as Parkinson's disease with dementia and Alzheimer's disease...
