Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last 20 years, the increase in cognitive impairment associated with mental pathologies, the aging of the population, and the increase in dementias have had a great social and health impact.
As a result of the global pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), it is expected that in the coming years we will have a pandemic linked to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety disorders and an increase in the number of suicides. Other problems posed by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are associated with quarantine social distancing measures, which cause difficulties in the treatment of patients with dementia, worsening their cognitive impairment and general health.
In this context, early interventions and preventive approaches are gaining relevance, including cognitive training and cognitive stimulation, physical exercise, healthy nutritional practices, as well as technological interventions based on video games, clocks, communication aids, monitoring of electrical appliance use and GPS location, tracking devices, homecare robots, home monitoring devices or medication management.
This second Special Issue of Geriatrics will focus on current advances in the study of cognitive aging and risk factors for age-related cognitive decline, with special emphasis on preventive interventions and problems associated with COVID-19 and the post-COVID-19 era. It will provide an opportunity to publish research articles related to this important field of research. Publication is free of charge. We encourage you and your colleagues to submit your papers for publication in this Special Issue.
