“…This finding was not expected and did not harmonize with the findings from a previous study (Cantegreil-Kallen and Pin, 2012). However, in their study, age-related fear was strongly affected by the respondents' own proximity to disease (e.g., as a caregiver), lack of information about diseases, and low level of education.…”

“…The results of this research guide and encourage the development of education and prevention programs focused on different age groups and AD caregivers. 6,12 It was found in the studies some gaps relating to methodologies, such as: questionnaire responses by telephone, leaving room for various interpretations, since a present interview can show interviewees' gestures and reactions, which confirms the interpretation of the data.…”

Objetivo: verificar o conhecimento produzido pelos pesquisadores a respeito da percepção dos idosos sobre a doença de Alzheimer (DA). Método: revisão integrativa da literatura com levantamento bibliográfico realizado na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), MEDLINE e nos bancos de dados do Portal de Periódicos Capes. Resultados: a amostra final foi constituída por onze artigos científicos, selecionados pelos critérios de inclusão previamente estabelecidos. Observou-se a incipiência de artigos científicos publicados sobre a Doença de Alzheimer com metodologia qualitativa que utilize a Teoria das Representações Sociais (RS). Conclusão: verificou-se a necessidade de pesquisas para investigar o comportamento de idosos frente a doença de Alzheimer tendo como aporte teórico a teoria das RS para que em um futuro próximo se acumule subsídios com base científica criando possibilidades de haver promoções de intervenções como políticas de saúde, com finalidade precípua de melhorar a qualidade de vida dos idosos. Descritores: Percepção, Idoso, Doença de Alzheimer.

“…First, fear of dementia is common in the general population [37], and this may be greater in people with diabetes who are aware that that they are at increased risk of cognitive decline. Information relating to the probability and time course of dementia could inform communications with patients with type 2 diabetes and help to reduce anxiety [38].…”

Dementia onset, incidence and risk in type 2 diabetes: a matched cohort study with the Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase I

et al. 2016

Aims/hypothesis The study aimed to assess the incidence, age of onset, survival and relative hazard of dementia in wellcategorised community-based patients with type 2 diabetes compared with a matched cohort of individuals without diabetes. Methods A longitudinal observational study was undertaken involving 1291 participants with type 2 diabetes from the Fremantle Diabetes Study and 5159 matched residents without documented diabetes. Linkage with health-related databases was used to detect incident dementia. Relative hazards were assessed using both cause-specific and subdistribution proportional hazards models. Results During 13.8 ± 5.8 years of follow-up, incident dementia occurred in 13.9% and 12.4% of the groups of participants with and without diabetes, respectively (p = 0.15). With type 2 diabetes, the incidence of dementia was higher (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.28, 95% CI 1.08, 1.51), as was the competing risk of death (IRR 1.50, 95% CI 1.38, 1.64). The ages when dementia was first recorded and when death with dementia occurred were both earlier with diabetes, by 1.7 (95% CI 0.6, 2.9) and 2.3 (95% CI 1.1, 3.6) years, respectively (both p ≤ 0.004). Type 2 diabetes was associated with an adjusted subdistribution HR of 1.18 (95% CI 1.00, 1.39), and a causespecific HR of 1.51 (95% CI 1.27, 1.78) for all-cause dementia. Conclusions/interpretation Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased incidence of dementia, and dementia onset occurs at a younger age. The relative hazards of both dementia and premature mortality are increased and, as a consequence, the increased risk of dementia in type 2 diabetes is not as marked as suggested by cause-specific HRs.
