Description
Shana Stites and co-authors published this 2025 study on asking the same life-circumstance survey twice in an Alzheimer's research cohort. Health is shaped by schooling, money strain, work, stress, and support. To see how those forces steer dementia over time, they must be measured again and again. The team repeated a long survey about eighteen months apart.
The sample held 135 cognitively healthy older adults at a university center. Eighty-one, or sixty percent, completed the follow-up. Most answered nearly all of the roughly 225 items. Completion dipped most on a health literacy scale and a stress scale. The pilot shows repeat surveying is workable, and it flags which items tire respondents. Such data can link lived experience to later brain outcomes.
