Dietary changes following a lifestyle-based intervention for dementia risk reduction - results from the AgeWell.de study.

Purpose: We investigated the effects of a multidomain lifestyle intervention conducted in older adults at increased risk for dementia on participants' diet.

Methods: Secondary analyses of the cluster-randomized AgeWell.de-trial, testing a multidomain intervention (optimization of nutrition and medication, enhancement of physical, social and cognitive activity) in older adults at increased dementia risk.

Social participation and cognitive activities as explanation factor for the association between income and self-rated health for older adults.

Introduction: Health disparities pose a considerable challenge for older adults individuals, particularly those with a heightened risk of developing dementia. Discrepancies in health status among various income brackets are only partially attributable to structural factors such as working and living conditions or the quality of food. The aim of this study was therefore to explore whether and to what extent various health-promoting behaviors can explain the association between household income and self-rated health among older people at risk of dementia.

Profiles of Met and Unmet Care Needs in the Oldest Old Primary Care Patients with Cognitive Disorders and Dementia: Results of the AgeCoDe and AgeQualiDe Study.

Introduction: The prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia is increasing as the oldest old population grows, requiring a nuanced understanding of their care needs. Few studies have examined need profiles of oldest old patients with MCI or dementia. Therefore, this study aimed to identify patients' need profiles.

Effects of a multidomain intervention against cognitive decline on dementia risk profiles - Results from the AgeWell.de trial.

Introduction: Dementia risk scores constitute promising surrogate outcomes for lifestyle interventions targeting cognitive function. We investigated whether dementia risk, assessed using the LIfestyle for BRAin health (LIBRA) index, was reduced by the AgeWell.de intervention.
