Therefore, this study aims to assess the potential clinical benefits of these services in terms of enhancing cognitive performance and reducing family care burden. Methods: Participants seeking medical attention for cognitive-related issues or dementia between 2018 and 2022 were included in the study. The investigation was divided into two phases: Phase 1 evaluated the efficacy of the integrated care network in preventing cognitive declines in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, while Phase 2 assessed the temporal evolution of family care burden for participants engaged in the integrated care network. Results: Phase 1 included 298 participants, and those involved in the integrated care network demonstrated significantly higher improvement in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores compared to the usual care group. Phase 2, which comprised 235 participants undergoing integrated care, showed a significant increase in family care burden. In Phase 1, those in the dementia-friendly integrated care network showing significantly higher improvement in MMSE scores compared to the usual care group (0.7 ± 1.5 vs. 0.0 ± 2.4, p = 0.011). In the subgroup analysis, oldest old subjects with mild cognitive impairment experienced reduced burden compared to the dementia group (-6.4 ± 12.4 vs. 4.2 ± 10.9, p = 0.036). Phase 2 demonstrated a significant increase in Zarit Burden Interview scores (3.5 ± 11.1, p < 0.001) among participants undergoing integrated care. Conclusion: The study highlights the notable benefits of a community-based dementia-friendly integrated care network in improving cognitive performance and alleviating family care burden, underscoring the significance of this approach in dementia care, while further prospective intervention studies are needed to confirm its clinical benefits for individuals with cognitive impairment or dementia","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135342804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), in the years 2014 and 2019, issued diagnostic consensus statements which have garnered substantial citation and recognition within the scientific community. Comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the AWGS 2019 consensus with the previous AWGS 2014 guidelines using a prospective cohort of 731 community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 65 years, it was found that AWGS 2019-defined sarcopenia was associated with a significant mortality risk (HR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.04–2.54, p = 0.034) after accounting for confounders, while AWGS 2014-defined sarcopenia was not. The AWGS 2019 criteria exhibited better predictive capability for mortality and were superior in identifying sarcopenia-related mortality risk, suggesting their potential utility in improving health outcomes for older adults. Besides, the AWGS also offers practical guidance on areas including malnutrition, dietary factors, supplementation, lifestyle interventions, and COVID-19's impact, with the goal of enhancing equitable care for this population. Despite the diligent research efforts of the AWGS, the practical application of sarcopenia screening, diagnosis, and treatment within clinical practice remains ambiguous.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135344716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
