-
World is greying as the proportion of the ageing population increases and the demography is changing both in the developing and developed world.
-
At-home, self-collection of hair provides potential advantages such as reduced participant burden, especially for vulnerable populations where transportation and different environments are challenging.
-
One hundred two caregivers participated.
-
50/100
Sleep was correlated more among dyads living with dementia than those with other chronic conditions.
-
Bivariate analyses indicated that nonmetro dementia caregivers were less racially/ethnically diverse (82.7% White, non-Hispanic) and more were spouses/partners (20.2%) than their metro counterparts (66.6% White, non-Hispanic; 13.3% spouses/partners).
-
Greater mindfulness was associated with positive outcomes and inversely associated with negative outcomes.
-
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, observed at a higher incidence in women compared with men.
-
70/100
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is a major public health burden-compounding over upcoming years due to longevity.
-
41/100
Thirty-four studies were included. Psychosocial interventions generating enrichment among dyads mainly involved supporting dyadic engagement in shared activities, carer education or training, or structural change to the environment around PLWD.
-
We identified 19 studies with primary data.
-
41/100
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the difficulties faced by caregivers who have to provide continuous '24/7' care to persons with dementia with minimal formal and informal support.
-
This study aimed to explore racial/ethnic differences in the attitudes toward Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and dementia caregiving among midlife women who were family caregivers of persons living with AD (MWPLAD) in the U.S. and examine the associations of the attitudes to their health outcomes.
-

The analysis suggests a complex network of interacting variables.
-
Social connection is an understudied target of intervention for the health of individuals providing care for a family member with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
-
Caregivers differed significantly on caregiver burden (F = 2.46; p = .014) and resourcefulness (F = 2.08; p = .038).
-
Caregivers showed a greater discrepancy in sleep duration than did noncaregivers (-0.46 hour vs 0.22 hour, respectively; P = .003).
-
Excluding participants with prevalent dementia, n = 1,161 individuals were included.
-
Research on interpersonal interaction dynamics in relationships between persons with dementia and their family caregivers has been limited.

Most people with dementia live at home and rely on family and friends who provide unpaid care and support.

NPS frequency varied from 18% for appetite and/or eating changes to 42% for delusions.
-
41/100
A qualitative study was conducted to examine the experiences of informal caregivers of persons with dementia pertaining interprofessional collaboration with and among healthcare professionals in home care (HC), nursing homes and during home to nursing home transitions in palliative care.
-
Older adults are at an increased risk of loneliness.
-
Our findings show that the first months of the outbreak did not significantly impact the cognition, quality of life, perceived health status, and depression of our study population when making comparisons with baseline assessments prior to the outbreak.
-
Hispanic family caregivers of people with dementia experience higher levels of stress compared to non-Hispanic white caregivers.
-
We observed that greater social isolation was related to increased anxiety in people with cognitive impairment (coefficients = 0.7242, t = 2.51, p = 0.015), adjusting for severity of cognitive impairment, race, pain, depression, activities of daily living, and instrumental activities of daily living.
-
Coupled with aging, chronic stress experienced by dementia caregivers often leads to deteriorating health.
-
The intervention group showed improvement on several measures of wellbeing including Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.
-
57/100
80% of participants were lonely. Loneliness was associated with having contacts in less social network domains, in women but not in men.
-
Although there were no significant changes in caregiver burden, we were encouraged by the increased emotional well-being of our participants following the completion of our program.
-
Most participants self-reported good social health (92%) with very few socially isolated (2%), with low social support (2%) or lonely (5%).
-
Informal caregivers in the multicultural memory clinic cohort experienced a high level of caregiver burden (mean CSI-score multicultural cohort: 6.1 [SD: 3.3]; mean CSI-score native Dutch cohort: 4.8 [SD: 3.2]).
-
Researchers are continuing to focus on the nature and sources of burden of family caregivers of persons living with dementia.
-

The current review has the ultimate scope to accurately define social isolation and loneliness while highlighting the serious repercussions on health and behavior.
-
Research on caregiver identity in the context of memory impairment has focused primarily on more advanced stages of the cognitive impairment trajectory (e.g., dementia caregivers), failing to capture the complex dynamics of early caregiver identity development (e.g., MCI; mild cognitive impairment caregivers).
-
Dementia produces a loss of independence to carry out the activities of daily life.
-
High-burden caregivers were more likely to be caring for patients with a diagnosis of ALS-FTD (p =.0001).

-
Enabling characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, caregiver education and employment and PWD education) and most predisposing characteristics (e.g., caregiver age, PWD age, relationship type) were not associated with any caregiving experience measures.
-
From March 2019 to March 2020, 264 patients were included.
-

Special attention and efforts to protect from or reduce health-related outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus triggering coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), should be applied in susceptible populations, including frail older people.
-
The revised UCLA loneliness scale score was not significantly associated with age, years of education, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, gender, living status, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and marital status.
