Alzheimers Dement

Background: The cognitive reserve (CR) theory seeks to explain the mismatch often reported between brain damage and its clinical expression. Unlike most previous studies that focused on individuals with memory deterioration before the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the present study examined the late stages of the disease. The study sought to confirm the hypothesis that patients with higher CR are diagnosed later and decline faster than those with lower CR because their brain pathology is more severe.

Current joint practice guidelines (PG) on genetic counseling and testing for Alzheimer's disease (AD), published in 2011 by the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) and American College of Medical Genetics), recommend against clinical APOE genetic testing. These recommendations were largely followed, as seen in a survey of AD Research Centers in 2019 where only 7% of centers reported disclosure of APOE to research participants. However, because the risk of amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) associated with anti-amyloid therapy is increased for those with one or two copies of APOE e4, the FDA now endorses APOE testing for those considering this treatment.

Individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia are at greater risk for mental health conditions including depression and anxiety than those without cognitive impairments. Non-pharmacological interventions are considered first-line to address these problems, but access to psychotherapy services for these groups remains limited. Adapted evidence-based therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are effective for treating comorbid mental health conditions in populations with cognitive impairments.

This survey was conducted to examine current global obesity care and perceptions influencing care delivery among HCPs and healthcare decision makers (HC DMs).
Methods: A survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 1200 HCPs (primary care providers, endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nurses) and 414 HC DMs from eight countries across five continents.
