Amsterdam Neuroscience, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Background: The first disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been approved in the USA, marking profound changes in AD-diagnosis and treatment. This will bring new challenges in terms of clinician-patient communication. We aimed to collect the perspectives of memory clinic professionals regarding the most important topics to address and what (tools) would support professionals and their patients and care partners to engage in a meaningful conversation on whether (or not) to initiate treatment.

Background: LatAm-FINGERS - the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial in Latin America - is a valuable opportunity to study lifestyle in a heterogeneous and multiethnic population exposed to a large number of cardiovascular risk factors. Our aims are to study the risk distribution in the LatAm-FINGERS cohort and to explore the relationship between LIfestyle for BRAin Health (LIBRA) and cognition.
Method: We calculated the risk of dementia using the LIBRA score in the entire cohort (n = 1200).

Background: Integrating blood biomarker testing for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) into clinical practice has the potential to transform AD care by enabling broadly accessible and accurate diagnosis, more precise prognostication, and timely initiation of disease-modifying therapy. While there are several scientific challenges to implementing blood biomarkers (e.g.

Background: With the worldwide geriatric population steadily increasing, identifying older adults in need of treatment for cognitive difficulties is imperative. Limited specialty resources makes it particularly important to identify which individuals would most benefit from further evaluation and treatment, including in countries where dementia care is limited, such as India. Self-report measures are timely and cost effective tools that can assist providers in identifying individuals at risk of cognitive decline.
