Description
Sakura Sakakibara and co-authors track care use across the dementia path in a 2025 study. The team used a town cohort of older adults. They found 240 folk who grew a mild mind disorder and 155 who grew dementia. Each group faced matched peers with sound minds. Care came in two forms: formal paid care and informal kin care. Use was read before, at, and after the find.
Mild disorder folk used formal care more at the find than sound peers. Dementia folk used formal care more both before and at the find. Their kin care jumped at the find and stayed high past it. Kin care hours grew far fast in both groups. Age, sex, school, and daily-task loss each flagged high care use. The study shows care load climbs ahead of the formal word.
