Conclusions: The findings indicated an association between physical and cognitive function. Among the cognitive domains, declines in EF were most related to a reduced physical function.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:195 –204 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

A Comparative Study of the Behavioral Profile of the Behavioral Variant of Frontotemporal Dementia and Parkinson ’s Disease Dementia
Conclusion: Behavioral symptoms are helpful to distinguish bvFTD from PDD, and thus also cortical dementia with frontal-lobe dysfunction from subcortical dementia.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:182 –194 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Development of Chinese Versions of Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia and Cognitive Tests for Severe Dementia
Conclusion: The QUALID-C and the CTSD-C are reliable and valid scales to measure the QoL and cognitive functions of Chinese older adults with severe dementia. These assessments can be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and future research work.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:172 –181 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cognitive Function Is a Prognostic Factor for Mortality of Nursing Home Residents during a 3-Year Observational Period
This study included 202 elderly individuals from a nursing home in 2015. The investigation included examination of cognitive function using the MMSE and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Collected data included sex, age, blood pressure (BP), heart rate, number of comorbidities, years spent in the nursing home, educational level, and cigarette-smoking.Results: The mean MMSE score was 21.36 ± 6.35, which was negatively correlated with age and diastolic BP (p = 0.001 andp = 0.024, respectively) and positively correlated with body mass, BMI, fat-free mass, fat, muscle mass, and education level (p = 0.004,p = 0.004,p = 002,p =...

Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Cognitive Dysfunction, and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: This study provides additional evidence about the link between cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive dysfunction in MCI subjects, and also demonstrated that comorbid risk factors increased the degree of cognitive deficit in many areas, which may indicate a higher risk of developing dementia.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:154 –162 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Quality of Life in Elders with Suspected Alzheimer Disease: An Urban Health Centers-Based Study from Iran
Conclusion: One elder out of 4, did not have desirable QOL and 3 elders out of 4 were suspected to have AD. AD can decrease QOL among the older people. Screening of the elders for AD is recommended to improve their QOL by health centers.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:143 –153 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

The Effect of the Feuerstein Project on the Cognitive and Functional State of Community-Dwelling Individuals Aged 65 Years and Older with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: The study findings support the conclusion that an intervention with a focus on cognitive exercising can promote a feeling of self-efficacy and preserve some cognitive skills.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:135 –142 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Impact of Confinement on the Burden of Caregivers of Patients with the Behavioral Variant of Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer Disease during the COVID-19 Crisis in France
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that during home confinement in the COVID-19 crisis, neuropsychiatric symptoms were the core factor that impacted caregiver burden in different ways depending on the disease.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:127 –134 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Social Cognition Deficits Are Pervasive across Both Classical and Overlap Frontotemporal Dementia Syndromes
Conclusion: Social cognition impairment is pervasive across the spectrum of FTD disorders, and tests of emotion recognition and empathy are clinically useful to identify the nature of behavioural problems in both classical and overlap FTD. Our findings also have implications for understanding the neural basis of social cognition in FTD.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:115 –126 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Montreal Cognitive Assessment as Screening Measure for Mild and Major Neurocognitive Disorder in a Chilean Population
Conclusion: Overall diagnostic accuracy can be considered as outstanding (AUC ≥0.904) when discriminating HE from both mild NCD and major NCD. These results showed that the MoCA is a suitable tool to identify mild NCD and major NCD.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:105 –114 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Apathy in Alzheimer ’s Disease Correlates with the Dopamine Transporter Level in the Caudate Nuclei
Conclusion: The pathological basis of apathy might be the impairment of the dopaminergic nervous system. Further studies on more subjects with AD, healthy controls, and patients with PD and DLB are needed.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:86 –93 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Utility of Easy < b > < i > Z < /i > < /b > -Score Imaging System-Assisted SPECT in Detecting Onset Age-Dependent Decreases in Cerebral Blood Flow in the Posterior Cingulate Cortex, Precuneus, and Parietal Lobe in Alzheimer ’s Disease with Amyloid Accumulation
Conclusions: The present study, applying eZIS-SPECT to amyloid-positive AD patients, suggests that reduced cerebral blood flow in the PCC, precuneus, and parietal lobe is more pronounced in the early-onset type than in the late-onset type of the disease.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2020;10:63 –68 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
