Abstract

Eight hundred study subjects and their caregivers were independently interviewed regarding the subjects' activities of daily living (ADL). the percentage of subjects who were independent for individual ADL items and the agreement in these reports between subjects and caregivers were investigated using three-level kappa statistics. index subjects with caregivers other than spouses or offspring required more assistance with ADL. The reported percentage of independence decreased with increasing severity of dementia. There was more agreement between self- and proxy-reported level of independence for physical ADL than for instrumental ADL items. Agreement decreased with increasing severity of dementia. Few statistically significant differences were noted between level of agreement and caregiver relationship. satisfactory levels of agreement on ADL b...Continue Reading

This feed focuses on cellular aging with emphasis on the mitochondria, autophagy, and metabolic processes associated with aging and longevity. Here is the latest research on cell aging.

Age-related Dementia

Dementias are a group of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, characterized by deficiencies in cognitive abilities. Age-related dementia refers to dementias that occur in older individuals, usually 60+ years old, in contrast to early-onset dementia. Follow the latest research on age-related dementia here.
