  • Comparison of Views on Aging and Self-Perceptions of Aging Between Dementia Caregivers and Noncaregivers

    Open AccessSerena Sabatini, Shelbie G Turner et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025References: 3

    Objectives Positive general views on and self-perceptions of aging (SPAs) are important for active and healthy aging. This cross-sectional study compared the general views on aging and SPAs of dementia caregivers with those of noncaregivers. Methods Data from the German Aging Study comprising 190 caregivers (mean age = 65.69 years; SD = 10.11) and 4,480 noncaregivers (mean age = 68.81 years; SD = 10.49) were used. The onset of old age was used to…

  • O3-4.4 How does education affect associations between neuropathology and clinical dementia

    B Stephan, Blossom C M Stephan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Almost everyone who dies in old age has some pathology in their brain at death, but does not necessarily die with dementia. Cognitive reserve factors such as education are thought to protect (“neuroprotection”) or provide resilience (“compensation”) against dementia-related pathology. We investigated the neuroprotection and compensation hypotheses in a large population-based cohort study (Epidemiological Clinicopathological Studies in Europe; ECl…
