TL;DR: Investigating the impact of education on differential item functioning in the BNT-KC among elderly individuals with or without dementia may provide useful information for the development of a revised version of the B NT-KC to help clinicians make diagnostic decisions more accurately.

TL;DR: Normal-but-low serum folate levels were associated with the risk of cognitive disorders in the elderly population, and a decline to normal- but- low serum folATE levels was associated with incident dementia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated disease burdens of various dementias and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a representative South Korean population and estimated the disease-specific disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs).

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hypohomocysteinemia on the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease were investigated in a large population-based cohort of older adults, where the authors measured baseline serum total homocysteine (tHcy) levels and examined the effect of serum tHcy on the risks of dementia using Cox proportional hazards models.

TL;DR: The results suggest that perceived caregiver burden increases with patient dependence on others and is higher when caregivers are the son/daughter of patient compared with spouse/partner caregivers.
