“…Another noteworthy finding is that drinking has increased during COVID-19. It is not clear whether drinking “alone” or drinking “with others to compensate outdoor activities” have increased, but since binge drinking is one of the risk factors for dementia [ 3 ], alcohol consumption behavior need to be monitored.…”

“…In 2020, the total number of Korean adults aged 65 or older was 8,134,675; of these, the estimated number of dementia patients was 840,191, thus reaching a prevalence rate of dementia of 10.33%. The nationwide estimated cost of managing dementia was 18.7198 trillion won, about 21.24 million won per person [ 3 ]. Protecting cognitive function in later life is an important prerequisite for healthy aging, and social connectedness is one of the crucial modifiable risk factors [ 4 ].…”

ObjectiveWe estimate the causal effect of social connectedness (i.e., the frequencies of meeting with friends, relatives, or neighbors) on cognitive function (the Korean version of Mini-Mental State Exam) among Korean older adults. Methods We used longitudinal panel data collected before and during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) to set up the fixed (FE) or random effect (RE) models. To overcome omitted variable bias or reverse causality, we used COVID-19 pandemic period as an instrumental variable to estimate the causal effect of social connectedness on cognitive function. Results Social distancing measures during the COVID-19 period decreased social interaction. The results showed that an increase in the frequency of social interaction led an increase in cognitive scores. Specifically, an increase of one unit in the frequency of meeting familiar people increased cognitive scores by 0.1470 and 0.5035 in the RE and FE models, respectively. Conclusion Social distancing policies due to the global pandemic may have increased the risk of social isolation and cognitive decline among older adults. The government and local communities need to increase their effort to develop way to connect adults through the remainder of the pandemic and beyond.

“…Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a complex clinical condition characterized by neurodegenerative symptoms encompassing deficits in attention, learning, memory, and information processing speed. Its prevalence ranges between 18 and 22% globally and nationally, 1 , 2 being a transitional phase between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). 3 , 4 Current clinical interventions for MCI are aimed at postponing this condition and remain notably limited.…”

“…Dementia is a typical mental illness that is closely related to the increase in the elderly population; its main symptom is cognitive impairment, including memory degradation and degradation of daily life functions because of changes in personality [ 1 ]. Given that the prevalence of dementia in the Asian population is 5.23% [ 5 ], the estimated prevalence of dementia above 65 years of age, which reaches 10.53%, and the annual management cost per dementia patient, which is up to KRW 18.51 million, shows the risks for South Korean elderly [ 9 , 17 ]. Aside from dementia, the number of patients is also expected to increase as the elderly population increases; consequently, the need for research and development related to dementia has increased.…”

The aim of this study was to verify the equivalence and effectiveness of the tablet-administered Korean Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (K-RBANS) for the prevention and early detection of dementia. Methods : Data from 88 psychiatry and neurology patient samples were examined to evaluate the equivalence between tablet and paper administrations of the K-RBANS using a non-randomly equivalent group design. We calculated the prediction scores of the tablet-administered K-RBANS based on demographics and covariate-test scores for focal tests using norm samples and tested format effects. In addition, we compared the receiver operating characteristic curves to confirm the effectiveness of the K-RBANS for preventing and detecting dementia. Results : In the analysis of raw scores, line orientation showed a significant difference (t=-2.94, p<0.001), and subtests showed small to large effect sizes (0.04-0.86) between paper-and tablet-administered K-RBANS. To investigate the format effect, we compared the predicted scaled scores of the tablet sample to the scaled scores of the norm sample. Consequently, a small effect size (d≤0.20) was observed in most of the subtests, except word list and story recall, which showed a medium effect size (d=0.21), while picture naming and subtests of delayed memory showed significant differences in the one-sample t-test. In addition, the area under the curve of the total scale index (TSI) (0.827; 95% confidence interval, 0.738-0.916) was higher than that of the five indices, ranging from 0.688 to 0.820. The sensitivity and specificity of TSI were 80% and 76%, respectively. Conclusion :The overall results of this study suggest that the tablet-administered K-RBANS showed significant equivalence to the norm sample, although some subtests showed format effects, and it may be used as a valid tool for the brief screening of patients with neuropsychological disorders in Korea.
