In this episode, our host, Dr. Scott Sperling, and student leader, Jared Jacoboson Cherry, meet with authors Sophie van der Landen and Dr. Sietske Sikkes to discuss their recent paper, "The relationship between cognitive domains and everyday functioning in Alzheimer's disease." The authors share insights from their study of over 600 participants with biomarker-confirmed Alzheimer's disease, ranging from subjective cognitive decline to dementia. Using advanced statistical modeling, they found that difficulties in memory, visual attention, mental flexibility, and visuoconstruction were closely linked to challenges in daily activities, while other cognitive domains like working memory, shifting, fluency, and inhibition, and naming were not. The conversation explores how these findings could shape more personalized care strategies and improve outcomes in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease.
