The association between aspects of carer distress and time until nursing home admission in persons with Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies

Toril Marie Terum et al.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the association between carer distress and time until nursing home admission in people with mild dementia. Carer distress was found to be an important contributor to early admission, with specific factors such as feeling frustrated and limitations on social life playing significant roles in predicting time until nursing home admission. Looking beyond the total score of the Relative Stress Scale could help in developing tailored interventions to delay nursing home admission for dementia patients.

Current and Future Prevalence Estimates of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia, and Its Subtypes in a Population-Based Sample of People 70 Years and Older in Norway: The HUNT Study

Linda Gjora et al.

Summary: A large population-based study in Norway found a higher prevalence of dementia and MCI than previous studies. The standardized prevalence of dementia and MCI in individuals aged 70 and above were 14.6% and 35.3% respectively, with dementia being more prevalent in women and MCI more prevalent in men. The most common subtype of dementia identified was Alzheimer's disease. The study projected a significant increase in the number of individuals with dementia in Norway by 2050 and 2100.
