Cognitive profile of people with mild behavioral impairment in Brain Health Registry participants.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Dementia assessment includes cognitive and behavioral testing with informant verification. Conventional testing is resource-intensive, with uneven access. Online unsupervised assessments could reduce barriers to risk assessment. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between informant-rated behavioral changes and participant-completed neuropsychological test performance in older adults, both measured remotely via an online unsupervised platform, the Brain Health Registry (BHR).

Design

Observational cohort study.

Setting

Community-dwelling older adults participating in the online BHR. Informant reports were obtained using the BHR Study Partner Portal.

Participants

The final sample included 499 participant-informant dyads.
