The Mini-Mental State Examination in Alzheimer's Disease and Multi-Infarct Dementia
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 127-134 - 1996
The aim of this study was to compare the performances on each item of the
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD)
and multi-infarct dementia (MID). In order to identify the items that could
better distinguish the two groups of patients, 70 AD and 31 MID patients matched
for disease severity, age, and education were evaluated. The scores of the 101
patients on...
Screening for dementia in primary care: a review of the use, efficacy and quality of measures
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 20 Số 05 - 2008
Maintenance of Mobility in Residents of an Alzheimer Special Care Facility
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 213-224 - 1998
The cognitive and functional decline of demented residents in a specialized
Alzheimer's facility was compared to that of demented residents living in a
traditional nursing home. All residents met DSM-III-R criteria for dementia. The
evaluation consisted of a clinical interview with patients and collateral
assessments of cognition, general health, problem behaviors, depression, and a
broad range of...
Current evidence for subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) as the pre-mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage of subsequently manifest Alzheimer's disease
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 2008
At the present time, there is increasing recognition and understanding of the
mild cognitive impairment (MCI) entity as a stage which is a frequent precursor
and harbinger of subsequently manifest Alzheimer's disease (AD) and, perhaps,
other related conditions, such as vascular dementia (Gauthieret al., 2006). MCI
has been defined in two disparate but generally compatible ways in the current
liter...
Assessment of Memory Complaint in Age-Associated Memory Impairment: The MAC-Q
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 165-176 - 1992
Few brief self-report memory questionnaires are available, and none has been
well validated. We designed a brief questionnaire, the MAC-Q, to assess
age-related memory decline. Validity and reliability of the MAC-Q were assessed
in 232 subjects meeting diagnostic criteria for age-associated memory impairment
(AAMI). Concurrent validity of the MAC-Q was supported by a significant
correlation (r = ....
Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) in Alzheimer's Disease: Reliability, Validity, and Ordinality
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 55-69 - 1992
Evaluation of changes in functional performance and activities of daily living
skills is an essential aspect of the assessment of elderly individuals with
chronic illness. Although functional decrement is a central aspect of
Alzheimer's disease (AD), many measures currently utilized to assess these
changes have limitations. Empirical and systematic examination of the functional
changes occurring i...
Mortality and Temporal Course of Probable Alzheimer's Disease: A 5-Year Prospective Study
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 291-311 - 1996
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is asociated with an increased mortality in comparison
with aged control populations. The relationship between the clinical and the
temporal course of AD has not been well studied over significant intervals.
Community residing patients with probable AD (N = 103, 42 men, mean age = 70.2 ±
8.0 years) were studied at baseline on demographic and clinical variables,
including m...
Examining the association between participation in late-life leisure activities and cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly Chinese in Hong Kong
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 2-13 - 2010
ABSTRACTBackground: Growing evidence suggests that participation in late-life
leisure activity may have beneficial effects on cognitive function. The
objective of the study was to evaluate the association between leisure activity
participation and cognitive function in an elderly population of
community-dwelling Hong Kong Chinese.Methods: 512 participants were assessed in
the follow-up study of a ...
Prevalence of mild behavioral impairment in mild cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive decline, and its association with caregiver burden
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 233-244 - 2018
ABSTRACTBackground:Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) describes later life
acquired, sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in cognitively normal
individuals or those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), as an at-risk state
for incident cognitive decline and dementia. We developed an operational
definition of MBI and tested whether the presence of MBI was related to
caregiver burden in patients ...
Advance care planning for people with dementia: a review
International Psychogeriatrics - Tập 23 Số 10 - Trang 1535-1551 - 2011
ABSTRACTBackground:Few people with dementia have made advance plans for their
health care. Advance care planning (ACP) is a process of discussion between an
individual and their care providers that takes account of wishes and preferences
for future care. We aimed to examine the facilitators and inhibitors to ACP in
people with dementia. We also aimed to identify key themes in the literature and
cr...
