Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra
Scope & Guideline
Enhancing understanding of aging through cutting-edge research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cognitive Assessment and Profiling:
The journal emphasizes the importance of cognitive assessments to profile patients with dementia and related disorders, including studies on biomarkers, neuroimaging, and cognitive tests to understand cognitive decline. - Interventions and Therapeutic Approaches:
Research on psychosocial, pharmacological, and alternative therapies (like music therapy and exercise) aimed at improving the quality of life for patients with dementia and their caregivers is a significant focus. - Impact of Comorbidities on Cognitive Function:
The journal explores how comorbid conditions such as diabetes, depression, and hearing loss affect cognitive function and dementia progression. - Caregiver Support and Burden:
Understanding the challenges faced by caregivers of dementia patients, including interventions to alleviate caregiver burden and improve their well-being, is a critical area of research. - Socioeconomic and Environmental Influences:
Investigating how socioeconomic factors and environmental settings influence cognitive health and dementia outcomes among older adults is another core focus.
Trending and Emerging
- Technology and Artificial Intelligence in Dementia Detection:
Recent publications have increasingly highlighted the role of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in early detection and monitoring of dementia, showcasing innovative methodologies for assessment. - Psychosocial Interventions:
There is a growing emphasis on psychosocial interventions aimed at both patients and caregivers, recognizing the importance of mental health and social support in managing dementia. - Post-COVID-19 Cognitive Health:
The impact of COVID-19 on cognitive health and the emergence of cognitive impairments among those recovering from the virus has become a significant area of interest, reflecting a timely response to global health challenges. - Cross-Cultural and Global Perspectives:
Research focusing on dementia across different cultures and settings is gaining traction, indicating a broader understanding of how dementia is perceived and managed worldwide.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Treatments:
Research focusing solely on traditional pharmacological treatments for dementia has decreased, possibly due to a growing interest in holistic and alternative approaches to care. - Generalized Cognitive Impairment Studies:
There has been a shift away from broad studies on cognitive impairment towards more specific investigations into particular types of dementia or comorbid conditions affecting cognition. - Single-Domain Cognitive Assessments:
The trend appears to be moving away from single-domain assessments towards more comprehensive, multidimensional approaches that consider various cognitive and functional domains. - Retrospective Studies without Intervention Focus:
Retrospective studies that do not propose interventions or actionable insights have become less frequent, as the journal emphasizes practical outcomes and interventions for improving patient care.
