“…It is well established that the symptoms of dementia are an important source of caregiving burden and stress, which in turn is a major determinant of institutionalization for persons with dementia [6,16]. Studies also found behavioral problems had a far greater impact on caregivers’ lives than cognitive or functional impairment of the person with dementia [6,16].…”

“…Studies also found behavioral problems had a far greater impact on caregivers’ lives than cognitive or functional impairment of the person with dementia [6,16]. A Singapore study, using the General Health Questionnaire, found that the impact on family caregivers of Chinese patients with dementia correlated significantly with duration of care, presence of delusion, hallucination, depression, insomnia, incontinence and agitation, and behavioral problems [7].…”

“…The quality of the current relationship between the caregiver and the patient may have an influence on caregiver burden [16,18]. A study showed that close kinship to the person with dementia usually imposes a heavy burden [16]. The amount of caregiving time each week and impaired sense of own identity predicted the caregivers’ perceived burden as caregivers feel that they are being trapped in their caring role [16,18].…”

Background/Aims: With an increasing life expectancy, the number of people suffering from dementia globally will rise to about 115.4 million by 2050. It is projected that in the 21st century, the majority of the world’s older people will be living in Asia. This paper examines the global issues of family caregiving for older persons with dementia from an Asian perspective. Methods: Literature review of published empirical studies from 1990 to October 2010. Results: A full understanding of the specific way that culture could influence family caregivers’ burdens may play an important part in the development of a holistic model for family-centered care. Well-designed psychoeducation interventions or multicomponent interventions could help in reducing caregivers’ burden. With socio-economical and demographical changes, families need to be supported when taking on the caregiving role and be offered alternatives of care. Conclusion: There is a need for future trials with more rigorous randomization and longitudinal follow-up to assess family caregiver burdens at different illness stages. Future studies could focus on protective factors that promote caregivers’ resilience. It is essential to develop psychometrically robust measures for family caregiver burden and gain.

“…However, little is known concerning the actual cost for society of this tremendous issue [17]. At the caregiver level, the burden of dementia has different aspects: general strain, isolation, disappointment or emotional disturbances [18]. Interestingly, the relatives of patients with VaD might be more stressed by the disturbing behavior and the memory impairment of the patients whereas, for AD, the most stressful part of caring is the social behavior [19].…”

The term ‘vascular dementia’ (VaD) corresponds to a clinicoradiological syndrome that can be defined with more or less restriction. VaD can result from: (1) cortical or subcortical ischemic lesions related to the occlusion of large vessels, (2) lacunar infarcts with or without white-matter lesions at the subcortical level related to small-vessel diseases, (3) ischemic lesions related to hypoperfusion or anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or (4) hemorrhagic lesions. The prevention of VaD is based on stroke prevention which implies risk factor manipulation and use of antithrombotic drugs among which the most widely used are antiplatelet drugs. The efficiency of these drugs to prevent cognitive impairment and dementia is not proven. Prospective studies are needed to investigate their potential in patients at risk of VaD: after ischemic stroke, in the presence of cognitive impairment of vascular origin or when MRI shows ‘silent’ ischemic white-matter lesions and/or infarcts.
