Objectives

To evaluate the feasibility of the Individualized Music Playlist based on Iso-Principle for de-escalating agitation of people with dementia and provide preliminary evidence about its efficacy.

Methods

The randomized participants listened to either a 30-min music playlist or a book-reading audio script twice weekly for six weeks, and when agitation occurred. Their agitation level was observed every 5 min from the beginning of an agitation episode for an hour to monitor its trajectory over a 2-week period. Multilevel models with maximum likelihood analysis was conducted. The frequency of agitation and other behavioural symptoms was assessed at baseline and the 6th week and analysed with Generalized Estimating Equations.

Results

Twenty-four participants were recruited, and 10 presented 36 agitation episodes during the first two weeks of observation. The recruitment and retention rates were 85.7% and 83.3%, respectively. A total of 97.2% of the intervention and control conditions were delivered as planned. The intervention was not more effective than the control condition in de-escalating agitation or reducing agitation and other behavioural symptoms. Overall, agitation symptoms were apparently alleviated in the first 10 min, with a decelerated pace observed thereafter.

Conclusions

The intervention was feasible, and its efficacy in de-escalating agitation is yet to be confirmed.

Objectives

Suicide rates are driven by availability of lethal means, increase with age, and are often higher in rural versus urban areas. This study examines temporal and geographic variations in suicides among elderly with a focus on rural-urban differences in method-specific suicide rates among people aged 65 and older in Spain, a rapidly aging country.

Methods

Population-based study including all suicides among people over 65 in Spain between 2010 and 2022. We examined overall and method-specific suicide rates and their temporal and geographical variation, stratifying results by sex and urbanicity level. Time trends were estimated via joinpoint regression. Maps were created to analyze the geographical distribution of suicide rates.

Results

While 2010–2022 suicide rates in people aged 65 and older remained largely stable overall, they increased by an annual 2.6% for women living in urban areas. The most common suicide methods were hanging for men living in rural and urban areas (68.5% and 47.3%, respectively) and for women living in rural areas (42.1%); for women living in urban areas jumping was the modal suicide method (46.9%). Method-specific trend analyses revealed recent increases in male suicide by poisoning and hanging in rural areas, decreases in male suicide by hanging and increases in male suicide by jumping in urban areas, and increases in female suicide by poisoning and jumping in urban areas. We identified and mapped remarkable geographic variation in overall and sex-specific suicide rates across Spain's regions.

Conclusions

These results, highlighting recent increases in female suicides in urban areas and in specific method-specific male suicides both in rural and urban areas, and demonstrating geographical variation across regions, should help guide targeted suicide prevention efforts.

Introduction

The rise of mobile health interventions offers significant potential to improve the well-being of the aging global population, particularly individuals at an increased risk of dementia. To fully leverage this potential, it is crucial to evaluate the mobile health applications across different demographic and socio-economic landscapes. This study investigated the relationship between a country's development status and the quality of dementia-focused mobile health applications, as well as the influence of developers' medical expertise on app quality and perceived impact.

Methods

This cross-sectional observational design study utilized the uMARS tool to evaluate the objective and subjective quality of dementia-related mobile health applications. Objective quality was assessed across engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information domains, while subjective quality included user recommendations, anticipated usage, and perceived impact. A stratified random sampling method selected 17 apps for evaluation, and inter-reviewer reliability was confirmed (Kendall's W = 0.143, p = 0.045). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and Pearson's correlation coefficients, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.

Results

Among the 51 dementia-related mobile health app analyzed, only one was developed in a low-income country. Additionally, this study found a linear correlation between the perceived impact of a mobile health app for dementia and the medical background of the development team, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of t = 3.708 (p < 0.001). Engagement was highly correlated with subjective quality (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.955, p < 0.001), and there was a strong correlation between the information provided by the apps and the perceived impact (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.884, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The adoption of mobile health apps must be prioritized to assist individuals with dementia and their caregivers in low income countries. Future apps should focus on improving engagement and involving medical experts in development to increase credibility and utilization across socioeconomic levels and healthcare systems.

Objectives

In China, depressive disorder (DD) among middle-aged and older adults is a significant public health concern. This research utilized the latest Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) database to evaluate the evolving disease burden of DD in this demographic over the past 3 decades.

Methods

Data on the incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of DD among people aged 45–89 in China between 1992 and 2021 were collected from the GBD 2021. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was applied to determine the effects of age, period, and cohort on the incidence and DALY rates of DD.

Results

(1) Over the last 30 years, there was a 6.49% increase in the overall age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and a 3.99% increase in age-standardized DALY rates (ASDR) for DD among middle-aged and older adults in China, with females consistently exhibiting higher ASIR and ASDR than males. In 2020, COVID-19 significantly increased the ASIR and ASDR of DD in the population, especially in females. (2) The APC analysis revealed an annual net drift of 0.38% in incidence and 0.17% in DALY rate. For both genders, local drifts of incidence were negative for the 45–54 age group and positive for the 55–89 age group; DALY rates showed negative local drifts for the 45–59 age group and positive for the 60–89 age group. (3) Incidence and DALY rates increased with age, displaying a trend of initial decline followed by an increase in period effects, but a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease in cohort effects. Moreover, the impacts of age, period, and cohort exhibited gender differences.

Conclusions

Our findings provide a comprehensive and in-depth perspective for studying the changing trends of DD’s burden in China and for identifying targeted prevention and treatment policies for DD from different aspects.

Background

Caring for individuals with dementia presents significant challenges for caregivers. However, positive experiences such as personal growth and emotional satisfaction play a vital role in fostering resilience and improving caregiving outcomes. This study highlights the need for a culturally relevant tool to assess these positive feelings, focusing on the adaptation and validation of the Dementia Caregiver Positive Feeling Scale for Turkish caregivers.

Objectives

This study aimed to carry out the Turkish validity and reliability study of the 21-item Dementia Caregiver Positive Feeling Scale.

Methods

This methodological study was conducted between February and December 2023 with 200 caregivers of dementia patients receiving treatment at the education and research hospital in Samsun, Türkiye. Data were collected using an individual information form and the 21-item Dementia Caregiver Positive Feeling Scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 and Amos 22.0 software. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated, and exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to test the construct validity of the scale.

Results

The average age of caregivers was 45.18 ± 12.02 (min = 18, max = 78), and 78.0% were female. The average caregiving duration was 4.07 ± 3.00 (1–18) years. The total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale is 0.80. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a KMO coefficient of 0.756 and a Bartlett's test result of χ2 = 960.382, p < 0.001. Factor loadings ranged from 0.32 to 0.61 and the total variance explained was 47.232. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the scale's 20-item, four-factor structure, with fit indices indicating an acceptable model fit: RMSEA 0.07, GFI 0.85, AGFI 0.80, CFI 0.77 and χ2/sd 2.15 (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

The Dementia Caregiver Positive Feeling Scale has been determined to be a valid and reliable instrument for the Turkish community. It serves as a valuable tool that can be used in research evaluating the positive experiences of caregivers of dementia patients.

IF 3.6 3区 医学 Q2 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-03-13 DOI: 10.1002/gps.70068
Till Neugebauer, Patrick Brzoska, Hilal Özcebe, Yüce Yilmaz-Aslan

Objectives

Facilitating and challenging aspects of a non-linear diagnostic process of dementia were explored in interviews with physicians from outpatient clinics of a major hospital in Turkey.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 physicians between March and April 2023. Purposive sampling was used to identify clinics that perform dementia diagnostics, including neurology, geriatrics, and psychiatry outpatient clinics. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Results

Facilitating and challenging aspects were perceived on three levels: (1) diagnostic procedures and methods, which focus on the assessment of dementia and the aspects that arise in the process; (2) communication, which describes the verbal and nonverbal relationships between health care professionals, patients, and their caregivers, as well as their communication styles; (3) care environment, which describes the various environmental influences on patients, both on a sociocultural and institutional level.

Conclusion

The diagnostic process for dementia involves several interrelated aspects, making a flexible, holistic approach essential. In this study, the social and cultural context of the patients and the involvement of the family emerged as crucial elements. By integrating these aspects, along with a mix of informal and formal communication between healthcare providers and families, the diagnostic process can become more patient-centered and effective. To further improve outcomes, raising awareness and providing education about dementia could reduce stigma and encourage earlier recognition and better management of the condition during the diagnostic process.

Objective

To establish the norms of the Hong Kong Brief Cognitive Test (HKBC) among Chinese older adults and to examine its utility for differentiating neurocognitive disorders from cognitively normal controls.

Methods

Two thousand three hundred twelve participants aged 40 years and above were recruited from six regions of China as the norm construction sample. 93 normal participants and 246 cognitive impairment patients were included for diagnostic test of HKBC. Based on the multinomial regression model, which analyzed the relationship between HKBC score and demographic information, the norm of HKBC score and converted T score (HKBC-T) were constructed. The ROC curve of HKBC-T was depicted to calculate the optimal cutoff value of screening cognitive impairment.

Results

The results showed that HKBC score was negatively correlated with age (SE = −5.48, p < 0.001) and positive correlation with education (SE = 1.53, p < 0.001), with no significant association with gender and living area. The AUC value of HKBC-T is 0.85 in distinguishing cognitive impairment and normal older adults. The optimal cutoff value was 45.79 points, achieving a sensitivity of 91.4% and a specificity of 66.7%.

Conclusion

Age and education must be adjusted when creating the HKBC norms. The HKBC-T is promising in detecting cognitive impairment at the population level.

目的 在中国老年人中建立香港简易认知测验(HKBC)的常模,并研究其在区分神经认知障碍和认知正常对照组方面的作用。 方法 从中国六个地区招募了 2312 名 40 岁及以上的参与者作为常模构建样本。其中,93 名正常人和 246 名认知障碍患者被纳入 HKBC 诊断测试。基于多项式回归模型分析了 HKBC 评分与人口统计学信息之间的关系,构建了 HKBC 评分和转换后 T 评分(HKBC-T)的常模。绘制了 HKBC-T 的 ROC 曲线,以计算筛查认知障碍的最佳临界值。 结果表明,HKBC 评分与年龄呈负相关(SE = -5.48,p < 0.001),与教育程度呈正相关(SE = 1.53,p < 0.001),与性别和居住地区无明显关系。HKBC-T 在区分认知障碍和正常老年人方面的 AUC 值为 0.85。最佳临界值为 45.79 分,灵敏度为 91.4%,特异度为 66.7%。 结论 在制定香港口腔健康测试标准时,必须对年龄和教育程度进行调整。HKBC-T在检测人群认知障碍方面具有良好的前景。

Background

Dementia represents one of the greatest global health challenges. There are known risk factors that might prevent or delay nearly 50% of the different types of dementia. There are substantial differences in risk factors and progression of dementia between women and men, including engagement in regular physical activity. The study aimed to quantify the impact of increasing women's participation in physical activity with off-road cycles and its effect on dementia incidence, relative to men and the associated health and social care costs.

Methods

Our study employed a population model with secondary data analysis approach to investigate the potential economic effect of implementing off-cycle lanes in the UK. Data were drawn from published evidence on lifetime risk of dementia relative to physical activity in men and women for the UK population, levels of physical activity in the UK, evidence on the effectiveness of off-road cycle lanes in increasing the level of physical activity in men and women, lifetime costs of dementia in the UK. Two scenarios were compared, assuming an increase from the baseline levels of cycling of 40.3% and 114% for women and by 36.4% and 77% for men, respectively. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to account for variations in key variables.

Results

Current dementia related lifetime costs were estimated at £1090.1 billion, and total lifetime costs £3326.1 billion. Under Scenario 1, dementia related lifetime costs decreased by £4.7 billion, and total lifetime costs by £0.11 billion. In Scenario 2, dementia related lifetime costs decreased by £7.0 billion, and total lifetime costs by £1.9 billion.

Conclusion

Off-road cycle lanes, especially for women, this type of structural and lifestyle intervention has the potential to bring health and economic benefits. Increased physical activity not only provides numerous health benefits, but also contributes to preventing the onset and lifetime costs of dementia.

Objective

To assess the relationship of subtle preclinical cognitive changes with white matter microstructure and cortical volume in middle-aged adults at high AD risk due to a parental history.

Methods

Participants (n = 278) were AD patients' offspring from the Israel Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention study. Cognitively unimpaired-decliners (CU-D) were based on a linear regression model. In a subsample with MRI (n = 220), we examined relationships of CU-D with white matter (WM) microstructure (fractional anisotropy [FA] and mean diffusivity [MD]) and cortical volume in brain regions commonly affected in AD.

Results

CU-D participants had lower FA in the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) (p = < 0.001) and higher MD in the SLF (p = < 0.001), and cingulum adjacent to the corpus callosum (p = < 0.001) and genu (p = 0.006) compared to cognitively unimpaired-stable (CU-S) participants. The groups did not differ in cortical brain volumes.

Conclusions

CU-D participants had poorer WM microstructure in brain tracts affected early in AD. Early interventions can target individuals that fit the CU-D criteria.
