Debate exists regarding differences in the prevalence of Alzheimer disease (AD) in African Americans and Hispanics in the United States, with some evidence suggesting that the prevalence of AD may be considerably higher in these groups than in non-Hispanic whites.
-
Geographic variation in occurrence of dementia within the US has received little attention despite its importance for generation of new etiologic hypotheses and health services research.
-
Dementia is an incurable disease. The most promising advances in treatment include cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine.
-
Variation in service use among sites was most plausibly accounted for by stark differences in the extent of out-of-pocket expenses, and the ability of older people and their families to afford them.
-
Progression of Alzheimer dementia (AD) is highly variable.
-
Dementia is a clinical syndrome of widespread progressive deterioration of cognitive abilities and normal daily functioning.
-
Depression is highly common throughout the life course and dementia is common in late life.
-
Geographic and temporal variation in occurrence of dementia within the US has received little attention despite its importance for generation of new etiologic hypotheses and health services research.
-
There is evidence that major depression increases the risk for dementia, but there is conflicting evidence as to whether depression may accelerate cognitive decline in dementia.
-
The incidence of CIND is greater than the incidence of dementia, and those with CIND are at high risk of progressing to dementia, making CIND a potentially valuable target for treatments aimed at slowing cognitive decline.
-
ME carer beliefs were an important barrier to early diagnosis.
-
The study aims to assess the efficacy of the Big Brain Academy (BBA), a computerized cognitive training program (CT) based on video games, compared to the Integrated Psychostimulation Program (IPP), a classical CT tool for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
