Global estimates on the number of persons across the Alzheimer's disease continuum

Anders Gustavsson et al.

Summary: This study synthesized literature on the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) at different stages and estimated the global number of individuals in the early stages of AD. The findings revealed that there are approximately 320 million individuals with AD dementia, 690 million with prodromal AD, and 315 million with preclinical AD globally. Together, these individuals constitute 22% of the population aged 50 and above. However, uncertainties remain in these estimates, particularly in low- and middle-income regions where biomarker studies are lacking.

End-of-Life Experiences Within a Dementia Support Program During COVID-19: Context and Circumstances Surrounding Death During the Pandemic

Adreanne Brungardt et al.

Summary: This study describes the context and circumstances of deaths of persons with dementia (PWD) within a dementia support program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that while some deaths were directly related to COVID-19 infection, social isolation, changes in dementia supports and resources, and communication challenges for end-of-life care coordination also had an impact on the mortality and end-of-life experiences of PWD and their caregivers.

Traversing the Aging Research and Health Equity Divide: Toward Intersectional Frameworks of Research Justice and Participation

Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi et al.

Summary: Significant advancements in reducing racial and ethnic inequities in chronic diseases of aging are unlikely without better inclusion of minoritized populations in aging research. Current studies mostly focus on individual-level factors and behavior, neglecting the impact of study design, structural factors, and social determinants of health on participation. This article examines the factors driving health inequities in aging and disparate participation in aging research among minoritized populations and proposes frameworks to foster equitable inclusion.

Is Dementia-Specific Caregiving Compared With Non-Dementia Caregiving Associated With Physical Difficulty Among Caregivers for Community-Dwelling Adults?

Lauren J. Parker et al.

Summary: This study found that dementia caregivers were more likely to report caregiving-related substantial physical difficulty compared to non-dementia caregivers, highlighting the need for more attention to the physical burdens and overall health of dementia caregivers. Early monitoring of caregivers' self-rated health, depressive symptoms, and pain may help identify those at higher risk of experiencing physical difficulty.

Summary: This study compares the emotional health and care time for caregivers of older adults with and without dementia. The results show that caregivers to older adults with dementia experience worse emotional health and provide more physical/medical care and less transportation assistance. Providing physical/medical care is associated with worse emotional health, and socializing with the care recipient is associated with worse emotional health when the recipient has dementia.

Summary: Research on racial differences in Alzheimer disease has shown that older African American individuals bear a disproportionate burden of AD compared to non-Latino white individuals. Despite progress in understanding the neurobiological substrates of AD, challenges such as study participant recruitment and lack of biological data in the African American population have hindered a deeper understanding of the disease's drivers. Enhancing knowledge of AD in African American individuals is crucial for the development of effective interventions and treatments.

Summary: This study examines whether incorporating the Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments (COPE) program into Connecticut's home- and community-based services (HCBS) achieves cost savings. The results show that the average cost savings for individuals who received the COPE program were $2,354 over a 12-month period. Additionally, COPE costs would consume 5.6%-11.3% of Connecticut's HCBS annual spending limit. Therefore, HCBS programs can serve as an important and sustainable payment model for delivering nonpharmacological dementia interventions like COPE.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify the stressors, services of interest, and barriers to use of services for Black family caregivers of persons with memory problems. The study found that the most common stressors for Black family caregivers were the memory problems patients, managing their financial affairs, and managing their comorbid conditions. The caregivers were most interested in educational material on treatment and diagnosis, caring for people with dementia, understanding dementia, and financial/legal services. Barriers to use of services included transportation difficulties and the need for a relief person. The results suggest that interventions that include virtual conferencing modalities may be more effective for Black family caregivers.

Minority salience and the overestimation of individuals from minority groups in perception and memory

Summary: Our cognitive system is inclined to pay more attention to uncommon and unexpected things. Individuals from minority groups are inherently uncommon and often unexpected, making them psychologically salient in perception, memory, and visual awareness. This salience leads to an overestimation of the prevalence of minorities, resulting in a misguided view of our social environments – an illusion of diversity. This overestimation decreases support for diversity-promoting policies.

The pipeline of drug development includes a diverse array of treatments, including disease-modifying therapies, cognitive enhancing treatments, and drugs for neuropsychiatric symptoms. Advances in drug design, outcome measures, biomarker use, and trial conduct show promise in accelerating the delivery of new and improved treatments for Alzheimer's disease patients.

Associations Between Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias and Depressive Symptoms of Partner Caregivers

Melissa L. Harris et al.

Summary: This study found that having a partner with ADRD was associated with a 30% increase in depressive symptoms, while a less recent diagnosis led to a 33% increase and a recent diagnosis led to a 27% increase. This emphasizes the importance of prioritizing partner health and family-centered care following an ADRD diagnosis.

Effectiveness of Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease Among Dyads With Moderate Dementia

Jaime Perales-Puchalt et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Kansas City implementation of the Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD) program, which targeted dyads with moderate dementia and caregivers, resulting in improvements in behavioral symptoms, physical activity, unmet needs, behavioral symptom distress, and caregiver strain from baseline to post-intervention. These findings suggest that the adapted RDAD intervention led to clinically meaningful improvements and may be scalable.

A dementia-friendly church: How can the African American church support families affected by dementia?

Fayron Epps et al.

Summary: Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is impacting the African American community at alarming rates, and many churches are not equipped to support families living with dementia.

In Our Community, Dementia Speaks: Pilot of a person-centered training targeting African-American caregivers of persons-living with dementia (innovative practice)

M. Aaron Guest et al.

Summary: African-Americans have higher rates of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, leading to a need for culturally tailored caregiver programs. While initial results did not show significant knowledge increase, a more detailed analysis indicated success in changing caregivers' attitudes and behaviors towards the disease. The findings provide guidance for future interventions and enhancements to existing programs.

Advocating Every Single Day so as Not to Be Forgotten: Factors Supporting Resiliency in Adult Day Service Centers Amidst COVID-19-Related Closures

Tina Sadarangani et al.

Summary: The study found that closures of ADCs during the pandemic led to declines in the physical, cognitive, and mental health of users and increased caregiver strain. Access to support capital was crucial in buffering the impacts of the pandemic on ADCs. Further research is urgently needed to quantify the effects of the pandemic on ADC users and caregivers for informing post-pandemic policy and advocacy efforts.
