Background Among the symptoms commonly faced by an increasingly aged population, dementia, preceded by cognitive impairment, most threatens their quality of life. Dementia is a well‐recognized burden, not only for individuals who face the disease and for their families, but also for entire nation. Aims The purpose of this study was to identify associated factors for cognitive impairment in a very elderly population via a screening study design in Sokcho, a rural area in South Korea. Methods Trained nurses screened patients from 75–84 years of age for dementia using the Mini‐Mental State Examination for Dementia Screening (MMSE‐DS) and conducted interviews to determine their socioeconomic status, education level, and living conditions (i.e., with or without family). Results In total, 4,369 subjects (1,646 males, 2,723 females) were enrolled in this study. Reported MMSE‐DS scores decreased with increasing age and to a greater degree in less educated subjects ( p < 0.001). Subjects requiring medical assistance or living alone exhibited lower MMSE‐DS scores compared to those who did not require medical assistance or who lived alone ( p < 0.001). Conclusion We found that less education, lower socioeconomic status, and living alone were associated factors for cognitive impairment based on this study of an elderly population.

“…Health practitioners have used TM to diagnose dementia in older people who cannot attend or travel long distances for assessment. Studies have found that TM can be as accurate as face-to-face (FTF) diagnosis, with similar levels of patient satisfaction (Barth, Nickel, & Kolominsky-Rabas, 2018;Martin-Khan et al, 2012).…”

Introduction As Australia's aging population increases and diversifies, there will be a growing need to address the burden of dementia among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Due to a lack of CALD‐appropriate services and bilingual health professionals, older people from CALD backgrounds often receive a delayed diagnosis of dementia. The use of telemedicine (TM) to deliver video‐interpreting services may overcome the barriers of interpreter availability when diagnosing and assessing dementia in older people from CALD backgrounds. Methods This paper aims to present a review of the literature on the use of TM to deliver video‐interpreting during dementia assessments. Factors affecting the reliability and agreement, feasibility, and satisfaction and acceptability when using TM or video‐interpreting have been described. Results The review found evidence that dementia assessments conducted via TM are as reliable as face‐to‐face (FTF) assessments and that participants are satisfied and find TM acceptable. There was less evidence about the feasibility of TM from the health care perspective, particularly regarding the acceptability and potential financial cost‐savings. Only five studies investigated the use of video‐interpreting during clinical assessments with CALD patients. Although video‐interpreting was found to be satisfactory among CALD patients and clinicians, a common finding was the preference for FTF interpreting. Discussion More research is needed to examine the financial feasibility and the health care perspective on the implementation and adoption of TM for dementia assessments. The use of TM to deliver video‐interpreting for dementia assessments has never been investigated and represents a significant gap in the literature.

SummaryDie Versorgung von Menschen mit Demenzstellt Medizin und Wissenschaft vor einegroße Herausforderung. Da bis heute keinekurative Arzneimitteltherapie zur Verfügungsteht, kommt nichtpharmakologischen Präventions- und Therapiestrategien eine bedeutendeRolle zu. Ziel des Projekts „Opti-Dem“ – Optimierungsstrategien bei Demenz:Forschung zu Prävention, Therapieund Versorgung war es, das aktuelle Wissenüber Demenz in einer Forschungsplattformzu bündeln und zu bewerten und so die Vorbeugung, Behandlung und Versorgung vonMenschen mit Demenz zu verbessern.
