The relationship between burden and caregiver's sleep disturbances in dementia: a systematic review.

Unlabelled: Caregivers of people living with dementia (PLwD) have a high burden degree that leads to health issues, including sleep.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the impacts of the caregiving burden on caregiver's sleep disturbances.

Methods: This systematic review involved a qualitative analysis of publications on Web of Science and Pubmed/Medline databases published between February 2018 and August 2022.

Affective theory of mind in people with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Objective: This study compared the affective theory of mind (ToM) of people with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and healthy older adults and also investigated the relationship between affective ToM and cognitive and clinical functioning in AD people.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 156 older adults with AD and 40 healthy older adults. We used an experimental task involving reasoning processes in different contextual situations.

A Longitudinal Evaluation of the Pattern of Social Cognition Impairment in Brazilians With Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Social cognition (SC) impairments contribute to the dependence of people with Alzheimer disease (AD), influencing their functional disability and the burden on family members and caregivers. Our objective was to longitudinally investigate the relationship between SC and cognitive and clinical variables in persons with AD and their caregivers. We also evaluated the different SC predictors from 3 perspectives: people with AD, caregivers of people with AD, and discrepancy analysis.

The relationship between theory of mind and cognition in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review.

: Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to an individual's ability to attribute mental states to others. It is well established that the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia can undermine ToM. However, there is no consensus on how Alzheimer's disease affects ToM.

Facial expression recognition in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review.

: It is well established that behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia can impair social and emotional function. However, there is no consensus regarding how Alzheimer's disease can affect facial expression recognition. We aim to systematically review all the literature addressing this issue over the last 10 years.
