The Effect of Temporal Persistence of Loneliness on Dementia: A Longitudinal Analysis From the Hunter Community Study.

Objectives: Loneliness is common and becoming a public health concern. Although there is the clear evidence of the variable effect of temporal differences in loneliness (transient/situational and persistent/chronic) on health, their effect on dementia risk is unclear. This study aims to assess the effect of transient/situational and persistent/chronic loneliness on dementia risk.

General practitioner and practice nurses perspectives on implementation of the 75+ health assessment: Implications for dementia care and well-being.

Background: The uptake of the health assessment for persons aged 75 years and older (75 + HA) remains low. Repeat assessments provide an opportunity to identify areas of change in cognitive function which may mark the onset of dementia. We aimed to explore general practitioner (GP) and practice nurse experiences of implementing the 75 + HA with a focus on clinical considerations for dementia care.
