Anchor-Based and Distributional Responsiveness of the Spanish Version of the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale in Older People with Dementia: A Longitudinal Study.

Background/objectives: Patients with dementia present with feeding difficulties (FDs) since diagnosis, conditioning their progression. Early identification is vital for preventing deterioration due to nutritional problems. The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale (EdFED) identifies the FDs of patients with dementia by studying their behaviours while eating or being fed.

Longitudinal assessment of the eating pattern of people with dementia and its association with problems for feeding and malnutrition: a prospective follow-up study protocol.

Introduction: Dementia conditions the patient's nutrition from the beginning and vice versa. Generating difficulties for feeding (FEDIF) will influence its evolution. There are currently few nutritional longitudinal studies in people with dementia.

Predictors of health service use by family caregivers of persons with multimorbidity.

Background: Informal caregivers of patients with multiple chronic conditions are socially good, promoting the sustainability of a large part of home care provision.
