Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impact of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia on cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and economic wellbeing and the quality of life of older adults and their families is a major cause of public health concern worldwide. Although we have made major advances over the last few decades in the early identification of MCI and dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and both pharmacological and nonpharmacological intervention approaches are being explored, much remains to be learned. Gaining a transdisciplinary perspective on the current status of research on early identification and potential interventions would allow us to leverage these advances to more effectively address the needs of older adults with MCI and dementia and their families.
We seek submissions for this Special Issue of Geriatrics focused on mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias, on a wide range of topics from behavioral and neural biomarkers to novel intervention approaches. Submissions may include original research articles or comprehensive reviews and will undergo formal peer review.
