Abstract Across Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACs), the fight against dementia faces pressing challenges, such as heterogeneity, diversity, political instability, socioeconomic disparities. These can be addressed more effectively in a collaborative setting that fosters open exchange of knowledge. In this work, Consortium on Dementia (LAC‐CD) proposes an agenda for integration to deliver Knowledge Action Framework (KtAF). First, we summarize evidence‐based strategies (epidemiology,...
The prevalence of cognitive impairment is insufficiently determined in developing countries. aim this study was to ascertain the without dementia and community-dwelling elderly Brazil.This a single-phase cross-sectional survey (aged 60 years above) living municipality Tremembé, Brazil. Twenty percent households with persons were randomly selected from urban rural areas, obtain homogenous representation all socioeconomic cultural levels.We assessed 630 individuals [mean age, 71.3 y (±7.99);...
In Neurolinguistics, the use of diagnostic tests developed in other countries can create difficulties interpretation results due to cultural, demographic and linguistic differences. a country such as Brazil, with great social contrasts, schooling exerts powerful influence on abilities normal individuals. The objective present study was identify performance Brazilian individuals Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE), order obtain reference values for population. We studied 107 subjects...
Abstract Introduction The depiction of features in discourse production promotes accurate diagnosis and helps to establish the therapeutic intervention cognitive impairment dementia. We aimed identify alterations macrolinguistic aspects using a new computational tool. Methods Sixty individuals, aged 60 years older, were distributed three different groups: mild Alzheimer's disease (mAD), amnestic impairment, healthy controls. A narrative created by individuals was analyzed through...
TEMA: O teste de nomeação Boston é amplamente utilizado para avaliação alterações nomeação. Os escores usados no Brasil têm sido os mesmos da versão americana.

OBJETIVO: avaliar a influência idade escolaridade habilidade amostra normais, cidade São Paulo, uma tarefa confrontação visual. MÉTODO: 133 voluntários...
Executive function deficits are observed in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) from early stages and have great impact on daily living activities. Verbal fluency oral diadochokinesia involve phonarticulatory coordination, response inhibition, phonological processing may also be affected PD. This study aimed to describe the performance of PD patients an age- education-matched control group executive function, verbal fluency, tests investigate possible relationships between them.Forty forty...
Despite the well-established relationship between aging and auditory processing decline, identifying extent to which age effect is main factor on performance remains a great challenge due co-occurrence of age-related hearing loss cognitive decline as potential confounding factors.To investigate effects working memory clinical evaluation middle-aged elderly.Cross-sectional study.A total 77 adults 50 70 yr were invited participate in study.The participants recruited from larger study that...
Subcortical structures are in a strategic functional position within the cognitive networks. Their lesion can interfere with great number of functions. We studied six patients thalamic vascular lesions (three left sided, two right sided and one bilateral), to characterize their repercussion communicative abilities interface between language alterations other abilities, as attention, memory frontal executive. All were evaluated through interview (discourse analysis), following batteries:...
Screening questions have been proposed as practical tools for detecting limited functional health literacy, but achieved only moderate accuracy in previous studies. We hypothesized that a combination of screening and demographic characteristics could better predict patient's literacy. Three hundred twenty-two hospital users from São Paulo, Brazil, were interviewed information answered about literacy habits perceived difficulties. The Short Test Functional Health Literacy Adults was used to...
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a widely used screening test for cognitive impairment, but heavily biased by education. Educational level has frequently been ranked using years of schooling, which may not be good indirect measure educational because there great heterogeneity in standards schooling among populations and across regions the same country. S-TOFHLA health literacy with some results indicating that it level.To evaluate correlations between scores on MMSE.Healthy...
Brazilian researchers and health professionals often face the challenge of having to use tests developed in foreign languages standardized for populations other countries, especially fields Neuropsychology Neurolinguistics. This fact promotes a feeling that some scoring systems may be inadequate our sociocultural reality. In present study, we describe performance population sample submitted translated adapted version Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE). Sixty normal volunteers (21...
O quadro clínico da doença de Alzheimer define-se por alterações cognitivas. Entre elas, a linguagem tem sido objeto freqüente estudos, e embora exista consenso sobre prevalência no âmbito semântico evolução dos sintomas lingüísticos, ainda não foi possível esclarecer natureza determinadas alterações. Estudos recentes têm acrescentado dados ao conhecimento clássico as perdas específicas outros aspectos cognitivos que com ela interagem, como é o caso das memória operacional. Nosso objetivo...
This study was aimed to validate the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communication Skills (ASHA FACS) for a Brazilian population.
