This study aims to describe the formal support available for persons with young-onset dementia in Sweden and identify factors influencing its provision over time.Method: A prospective cohort study was carried out using data from the Swedish Dementia Registry (SveDem), focusing on persons diagnosed with young-onset dementia between January 2009 and April 2022 (n = 2592). Descriptive statistics provided a comprehensive overview of the population, and Cox Regressions were used to analyse factors associated with the time to receive support services post-diagnosis.Results: Living with another adult and higher MMSE scores were significantly associated with later access to home help services (p < 0.001) and care facilities (p < 0.001). Higher MMSE scores (p < 0.001), older age (p = 0.023), living with another adult (p = 0.010) and diagnosis at primary care centres (p = 0.016) were also associated with later access to day-care services. No significant associations were found between age, sex, medications, care setting, living arrangement, or MMSE score or with the time to access counselling services.Conclusion: The timing of access to support services for persons with young-onset dementia varies significantly, particularly for those living with another adult. These patterns may reflect a hidden caregiver burden.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LAVA is a non-normative approach, applied in two steps: First, participants assign 25 aspects of life to three groups (not important, important, most important). Second, they rate their current satisfaction with the most important aspects on a scale from 1 to 10.Results: The majority of patients indicated that family (84.1%), mental health (84.8%), physical health (78.7%), and independent decision making (76.2%) were very important aspects of their life, mostly considered as resources. Variables related to negative well-being in older age-such as sleep quality and pain-were mostly considered as problem area.

Thirty-one participants, 20 men and 11 women, were purposively selected for the study. We used in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to collect data. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data.Results: The analysis yielded six prominent themes: physical and mental health, family and social interactions, financial stability and security, optimism and autonomy, religious faith and practices, and the opportunity to work and contribute to the community.Conclusion: The study provided insights about older adults' conceptualization of well-being from a low-income country context. Older adults viewed their well-being holistically as a combination of physical, mental, family, social, financial, religious, and community dimensions. The findings point to a need for comprehensive and contextually-relevant psychosocial and economic interventions and rehabilitative plans to enhance older adults' well-being.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143426714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the relative importance of relationship quantity and quality for loneliness in older adults.Method: The study was a cross-sectional, representative survey of 474 adults aged 77 and above living in Dalarna, Sweden. Loneliness was measured using the three-item UCLA Loneliness Scale. Four ordinal logistic regression models of loneliness were developed: one for quantity of relationships and three for quality of relationships (closeness; conflict; closeness and conflict combined). Perceived social support was included in the quality models.Results: The quality models explained the most variance in loneliness and had better model fit. Having a partner was associated with less loneliness, even when there was conflict. Having a close relationship with children was associated with less loneliness, but a lack of closeness or the presence of conflict was associated with more loneliness. Perceived social support was associated with less loneliness.Conclusion: Quantity and quality of relationships are both associated with loneliness in older adults, but relationship quality appears to have greater importance. Specific types of relationships are also relevant, highlighting the need to consider relationship dynamics when designing interventions to reduce loneliness.","PeriodicalId":55546,"journal":{"name":"Aging & Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, significant between-subject and within-subject differences, respectively for group main effect and time main effect, along with a significant interaction between group and time. These findings indicated that apathy symptoms in patients with mild AD significantly decreased from pretest to post- intervention, but there wasn't significant change in moderate AD and control group.Conclusion: The findings suggested that BBAT is effective in reducing apathy symptoms in patients with mild AD.

The sample consists of adults (55+) who participated in the Psycho-Social module. Utilizing random-effects linear regression models, we test associations of isolation and loneliness on emotional distress outcomes, including depression, negative affect, and positive affect. Additionally, we assessed whether communications via SNS moderate these relationships.Results: Loneliness, compared to isolation, is consistently associated with emotional distress among older adults. SNS attenuates mental and emotional distress among those who are objectively isolated while magnifying the negative impacts of loneliness. The associations between SNS communications and emotional distress are conditional on degrees of isolation and loneliness. In particular, greater SNS use is associated with higher negative affect among those who feel lonely but higher positive affect among those who are isolated.Conclusion: SNS may offset social isolation among older adults, whereas heavy reliance on SNS when one feels lonely may amplify that internalization.
