Dementia screening protocol for primary care in South America
Introduction: Rapid population aging in South America (SA) highlights the need for effective dementia detection strategies. Primary care is essential for early identification, yet no shared, regionally contextualized approach exists. This study aimed to develop expert-based recommendations for dementia screening in SA primary care. Methods: A two-round modified Delphi process involved 20 SA experts from different specialties. Round 1 explored ope…
Peruvian validation and standardization of the TabCAT-brain health assessment
Introduction: Detecting cognitive impairment in low-educated and marginalized populations may result in under- or over-estimation of diagnoses due to reliance on non-validated approaches and normative data. This study validates and standardizes TabCAT-BHA for older adults living in the Andean region of Peru using regression-based normalization. Methods: Two hundred fifty-eight participants were assessed with the MMSE, RUDAS, and TabCAT-BHA. Class…
Prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment and dementia in northern Peru
Background: Global dementia prevalence estimates indicate a growing burden, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Factors such as education, socioeconomic status, and limited public health interventions contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia in middle-aged and older adults from northern Peru, as well …
Rethinking and transforming health systems for dementia care in low- and middle-income country settings
Epidemiology of neurocognitive disorders in adults from urban-marginalized areas
Background: In Latin America (LA), the prevalence of dementia is expected to triple to 150 million people by 2050. The 2020 Lancet Commission report identified several modifiable dementia risk factors, yet few social and environmental factors, most relevant to vulnerable regions of LA, were highlighted in this report. We sought to assess the epidemiology of neurocognitive disorders (NCD) in Puente Piedra, one of the most socially and economically…
Thyroid Dysfunction, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid Deficiencies Are Not Associated With Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults in Lima, Peru
Background: Reversible etiologies of cognitive impairment are common and treatable, yet the majority of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia research in Latin America has focused on irreversible, neurodegenerative etiologies. Objective: We sought to determine if thyroid dysfunction and vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies are associated with cognitive disorders among older adults with memory complaints in Lima, Peru. Methods: This was a re…
Rendimiento en pruebas cognitivas breves, de adultos mayores con demencia en estadios avanzados, residentes de una comunidad urbana de Lima, Perú
The combination of MMSE and PDR-M show good discriminative ability to detect moderate and severe dementia in population living in urban community in Lima
Validación de la prueba de dibujo del reloj - versión de Manos - como prueba de cribado para detectar demencia en una población adulta mayor de Lima, Perú
The PDR-M is a brief and reliable instrument for the detection of dementia in the urban population of Lima, Peru
Validación de la prueba de dibujo del reloj - versión de manos - como prueba de cribado para detectar demencia en una población adulta mayor de Lima, Perú
Introduction. The clock drawing test (PDR-M) - Manos ́ version - is a brief cognitive assessment tool for dementia detection. Objectives. To assess the validity and reliability of the PDR-M to discriminate between patients with dementia and healthy control subjects. Materials and methods. We evaluated subjects over 65 years of age, excluding those with severe concomitant diseases and those with hearing or visual impairment. We obtained demographi…
