Abstract

Background: Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) research typically requires participants to enroll with a "study partner" (SP). Little is known about what predicts who steps into the SP role or whether the SP's relationship to the participant affects their reports of disease severity.Methods: Health and Retirement Study data (HRS), collected prior to the Aging, Demographics and Memory Study (ADAMS), was used to identify sociocultural factors that predict who serves as a SP in ADAMS. SP-reported outcomes were compared between three types of participant-SP relationships: spousal, adult child, and other.Results: Spouses (35%) and adult children (39%) were similarly likely to serve as SPs. Factors predicting who served differed. In multivariable analyses, adult children rated participants less impaired than spouses on measures of memory, judgment, and organizational abilities (p < .05). Conclusions: The participant-SP relationship has independent effects on the SP's reports of the severity of cognitive impairments.

谁是阿尔茨海默病研究参与者的研究伙伴的预测因素及其关系对研究伙伴对参与者报告的影响

背景:阿尔茨海默病和阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆(AD/ADRD)研究通常要求参与者注册一个“研究伙伴”(SP)。关于是什么预测了谁会成为SP角色，或者SP与参与者的关系是否会影响他们对疾病严重程度的报告，我们知之甚少。方法:在老龄化、人口统计学和记忆研究(ADAMS)之前收集的健康与退休研究数据(HRS)用于确定预测ADAMS中谁担任SP的社会文化因素。sp报告的结果在三种类型的参与者- sp关系之间进行比较:配偶、成年子女和其他。结果:配偶(35%)和成年子女(39%)担任sp的可能性相似。预测服役人员的因素有所不同。在多变量分析中，成年子女认为参与者在记忆力、判断力和组织能力方面的受损程度低于配偶(p < 0.05)。结论:参与者与服务对象的关系对服务对象对认知障碍严重程度的报告有独立的影响。

期刊介绍： Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
