“…According to the United Nations, in 2019, approximately 10% of the world's population was over 65; by 2050, this figure will be 20%. [13] The problem of preventing factors associated with the risks of cognitive decline and hindering active longevity in old age is becoming increasingly important.…”

People worldwide are living longer. Today most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older persons. By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or over. The share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. While this shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages – known as population aging – started in high-income countries (for example, in Japan, 30% of the population is already over 60 years old), it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. By 205the 0, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 years will live in low- and aging-income countries. In Brazil, the population is getting older. Data released on 22/07/2022 at 10:00 am by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) show that, in 2021, Brazil had more than 10% of its population formed by elderly people aged 65 or over the deity. According to the survey, last year (2021), the Brazilian population was estimated at 212.5 million people. Of these, 21.6 million were aged 65 or over, representing 10.2%.

Background. In Russia, the problem of maintaining cognitive well-being at a later age and helping elderly patients with dementia is an urgent task in the areas of healthcare and social protection of the population. The dynamics of the demographic situation in the country shows that by 2030, the older generation will make up almost a third of the population. At the same time, Russia is among the countries with the largest number of people with dementia. The aim of this study was the cultural adaptation of the Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) program for elderly people with cognitive decline and dementia in a Russian-speaking sample with a pilot study of the use of CST in residential institutions on a group of elderly people with mild dementia. Methods. Cultural adaptation of the program was carried out within the framework of the Formative Method for Adapting Psychotherapy (FMAP) approach. The study used the official Russian translation of the manual for specialists conducting group classes “Making a Difference.” The sample consisted of several groups: (a) specialists (psychologists, medical workers, social workers) who participated in surveys with the aim of cultural adaptation of the management and procedure of the CST program, as well as receiving feedback after its implementation (n=25); (b) elderly people who participated in surveys for the purpose of cultural adaptation of stimulus material for the CST program (n=60, age 55–81 years (M=67.6, SD=6.2)); (c) elderly people with mild cognitive decline who participated in the pilot implementation of the CST program (n=5, age 68—83 years (M=75.8), MMSE and MoCA (n=5, M = 24.8 and 21.6, SD = 0.4 and 2.5, respectively). Six surveys were conducted: three in the form of face-to-face group discussions, two in the form of individual interviews, one survey was conducted online. Directed observation of the participants of the pilot study was also conducted (monitoring of progress, monitoring of support). The results are presented within the framework of the five stages of FMAP according to the “bottom-up” principle applied to the CST intervention. Results of surveys and observations received during the pilot study regarding feedback from program participants, staff of a residential facility for elderly patients with cognitive deficits, and group leaders were analyzed. Conclusions. The basic principles, structure of the intervention program and activities proposed in the CST manual are acceptable for use with Russian-speaking elderly people with mild dementia. The “Making a Difference” manual, translated into Russian and culturally adapted, is ready for use and further large-scale implementation of the intervention. The prospects for the study include assessment of effectiveness of CST on a Russian sample in various conditions (in the process of implementation), as well as development an online version of CST for the elderly population.

Awareness of cognitive deficits, as a rule, occurs in the form of «memory complaints». Spontaneous narration of problems reveals their semantic hierarchy and can be a model for generating a spontaneous flow of thoughts and memories with the activity of the default brain network. The objective of the study was to study the nature of spontaneously expressed complaints about memory by patients with mild compression of the temporal regions of the resting network of the brain. The study was conducted in a homogeneous clinical group of 48 patients with extracerebral benign neoplasms located in close proximity to the medio-basal parts of the left (25 people) or right (28 people) temporal lobe. The tumor compresses these parts, but does not infiltrate the brain substance. With left-sided compression, complaints about verbal processes dominated, and their quantitative predominance over similar complaints was recorded in the group with right-sided compression and in the control group of healthy subjects (24 people). The severity of cognitive complaints with left-sided exposure to the brain revealed a negative correlation with experimental indicators of the success of spatial distribution of attention and simultaneous perception. With right-sided compression, spontaneously generated cognitive complaints revealed a dependence on the number of recognition errors in the AVP test, but this dependence was paradoxical: the worse this memory indicator was, the fewer cognitive complaints patients presented. The phenomenology of neural network compression makes it possible to register hemispheric specificity in spontaneously generated thoughts and memories.
