Brief summary in lay language

Dementia and cognitive decline are important social problems because of their increasing prevalence in the older population. For an optimal care of the patients it is necessary to detect the illness in an early stage. Pathological changes in the brain can be found in the early stages of the diseases before cognitive symptoms like memory disorders appear. The objective of this project is to examine which factors for in the motor (e.g. gait, balance, fine motoric) and sensory system as well as in brain oscillations are associate with symptoms of dementia. Persons with an age of 80 years and above will be included in this study. They will take part in motor, sensory, neurophysiological and cognitive measurements up to four times within three years.

Brief summary in scientific language

The objective of the SENDA study is to develop a multi-dimensional instrument to detect cognitive decline or dementia with the help of cognitive, sensory, motor and electroencephalogical parameters. The study will examine the following main question: - Which cognitive, sensory, motor and neurophysiological parameters are predictors to differentiate people with subjective cognitive declines or with mild cognitive decline from age-matched healthy people? At the beginning of the study participants will be divided into three groups depending on their cognitive status: 1. cognitive healthy participants, 2. subjectively cognitive impaired participants, 3. participants with mild cognitive impairment. All groups will take part in the same motor, sensory, neurophysiological and cognitive measurements. All measurements will be repeated four times in intervals of eight months to identify associations to cognitive changes over time.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
At the beginning of the study participants will be divided into three groups depending on their cognitive status: 1. cognitive healthy participants, 2. subjectively cognitive impaired participants, 3. participants with mild cognitive impairment. All measurements will be assessed four times within three years in intervals of eight months to identify associations to cognitive changes over time. One time of measurement consists of 3 examination days. The same motor, sensory, neurophysiological, and cognitive measurements will be conducted for each time of measurement.

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
The primary endpoint is to identify motor, sensory, neurophysiological and cognitive parameters to predict cognitive decline or dementia in older people. All measurements will be assessed four times within three years in intervals of eight months to identify associations to cognitive changes over time. One time of measurement consists of 3 examination days. The same motor, sensory, neurophysiological, and cognitive measurements will be conducted for each time of measurement. Measurements, questionnaires: - Montreal Cognitive Assessment, - Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer`s Disease, - Questionnaire for subjective assessment of mental performance, - Digit Symbol Substitution Test, - gait analysis with OptoGait(R) under single- and dual-task conditions using 3D cameras for video recordings, - Short physical performance battery, - hand force dynamometer, - EEG measurements, - Eriksen flanker task, - fine motor measurements e.g. spontaneous finger tapping, force tracking task, foot coordination, - sensory measurements with shaker or mini-shaker, - Limits of Stability Test, balance tests on the posturomed under single-task and dual-task conditions
Secondary outcome:
All measurements will be assessed four times within three years in intervals of eight months to identify associations to cognitive changes over time. One time of measurement consists of 3 examination days. The additional measurements will be conducted for each time of measurement. Therefor, functional, cognitive as well as mental health and lifestyle factors, that might be associated with cognitive decline, will be assessed. These include frailty, comorbidities, social support, quality of life, physical activity, depressive symptoms, and fear of falling. Questionnaires: - Big Five Inventory, - Geriatric depression scale, - Charlson Comorbidity Index, - Questionnaire for social support, - BAECKE inventory for physical activity, - PRISCUS PAQ, - NAI, - FRAIL scale, - Tilburg Frailty Indicator
