[PMID: 38976044 DOI: 10.1007/s00702-024-02796-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
The ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) function is a multifaceted construct that reflects functionality in different daily life situations. The loss of ADL function due to cognitive impairment is the core feature for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). In contrast to Alzheimer's disease, ADL impairment in PD can be compromised by various factors, including motor and non-motor aspects. This narrative review summarizes the current state of knowledge on the association of cognition and ADL function in people with PD and introduces the concept of "cognitive ADL" impairment for those problems in everyday life that are associated with cognitive deterioration as their primary cause. Assessment of cognitive ADL impairment is challenging because self-ratings, informant-ratings, and performance-based assessments seldomly differentiate between "cognitive" and "motor" aspects of ADL. ADL function in PD is related to multiple cognitive domains, with attention, executive function, and memory being particularly relevant. Cognitive ADL impairment is characterized by behavioral anomalies such as trial-and-error behavior or task step omissions, and is associated with lower engagement in everyday behaviors, as suggested by physical activity levels and prolonged sedentary behavior. First evidence shows that physical and multi-domain interventions may improve ADL function, in general, but the evidence is confounded by motor aspects. Large multicenter randomized controlled trials with cognitive ADL function as primary outcome are needed to investigate which pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions can effectively prevent or delay deterioration of cognitive ADL function, and ultimately the progression and conversion to PDD.

Classification of upper-limb dysfunction severity and prediction of independence in activities of daily living after cervical spinal-cord injury. Spinal Cord 2024:10.1038/s41393-024-01005-5. [PMID: 38886575 DOI: 10.1038/s41393-024-01005-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study. OBJECTIVES Classification of spinal-cord injury and prediction of independence in activities of daily living (ADL) based on performance evaluations such as upper-limb function have not been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a severity classification and calculate cutoff values for independence in ADL using the Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test (CUE-T) for individuals with cervical spinal-cord injury (CSCI). SETTING A spinal-cord injury rehabilitation center in Japan. METHODS This study included individuals with subacute CSCI. Collected data included the CUE-T and Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) scores. The severity classification was used for the hierarchical cluster analysis using the CUE-T. The cutoff values of CUE-T scores for independence in ADL were calculated using an adjustment model with logistic regression analysis. The dependent variable was binary (independent/non-independent) for each SCIM III Self-care item, and the independent variable was CUE-T. RESULTS A total of 71 participants were included in the analysis. The severity of upper-limb dysfunction was classified into four categories using CUE-T. Significant differences in upper-limb function and ADL were observed between clusters. The cutoff values for CUE-T score for independence in ADL ranged from 37 to 91 points. All cutoff values showed good results in the internal validation, sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study determined the severity of upper limb function in CSCI and the cutoff values of CUE-T scores for independence in ADL. These results may help set criteria and goals for interventions in the clinical and research fields. SPONSORSHIP None.

Clin Neuropsychol 2024:1-21.

Abstract
Objective: Multitasking is an essential part of everyday functioning often not formally assessed by traditional neuropsychological tests. Although individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience both motor and cognitive difficulties, previous research has demonstrated more pronounced functional difficulties with the presence of mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). The current study compared individuals with PD-MCI, PD with normal cognition (PD-NC), and healthy controls on a naturalistic task of multitasking, the Day Out Task (DOT). Method: Participants were 38 healthy older adults (HOA), 23 individuals with PD-NC, and 15 individuals with PD-MCI. Participants completed a battery of neuropsychological tasks and the DOT. Informants also completed a self-reported questionnaire of participants' everyday executive functioning. Results: Compared to PD-NC and HOA, participants with PD-MCI were less accurate and efficient and took longer to complete the DOT. After controlling for motor performance, only DOT accuracy remained worse, with poorer accuracy resulted from more subtasks being left incomplete or being completed inaccurately by the PD-MCI group. DOT sequencing was a significant predictor of informant reported everyday dysexecutive symptoms. Conclusions: The findings highlight that individuals with PD-MCI are likely to experience difficulties completing complex everyday tasks due to both motor and cognitive impairments. Clinicians may therefore recommend strategies to support efficiency and accuracy in complex tasks of everyday functioning in treatment considerations.

Social support and cognitive function in Chinese older adults who experienced depressive symptoms: is there an age difference? Front Aging Neurosci 2023; 15:1175252.

Abstract
Objective This study examined the moderating effect of overall social support and the different types of social support on cognitive functioning in depressed older adults. We also investigated whether the moderating effect varied according to age. Methods A total of 2,500 older adults (≥60 years old) from Shanghai, China were enrolled using a multistage cluster sampling method. Weighted linear regression and multiple linear regression was utilized to analyze the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive function and to explore its differences in those aged 60-69, 70-79, and 80 years and above. Results After adjusting for covariates, the results indicated that overall social support (β = 0.091, p = 0.043) and support utilization (β = 0.213, p < 0.001) moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive function. Support utilization reduced the possibility of the cognitive decline in depressed older adults aged 60-69 years (β = 0.310, p < 0.001) and 80 years and above (β = 0.199, p < 0.001), while objective support increased the possibility of cognitive decline in depressed older people aged 70-79 years (β = -0.189, p < 0.001). Conclusion Our findings highlight the buffering effects of support utilization on cognitive decline in depressed older adults. We suggest that age-specific measures should be taken when providing social support to depressed older adults in order to reduce the deterioration of cognitive function.
