Objective: This cross-sectional assisted survey aimed to evaluate a multidisciplinary team approach of specialists of the Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati and pharmacists to facilitate progress in the early identification and management of cognitive decline in patients\u200a&gt; \u200a60 years. Methods: A multidisciplinary team conducted this cross-sectional assisted survey. Patients (&gt;60 years) with independent and\/or assisted walking, subjective memory impairment, mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) who regularly attended pharmacies underwent the survey. An internal medical examination, a cardiovascular visit, and a short neuropsychological evaluation were conducted for each patient. Demographic, anamnestic, and clinical data were collected anonymously. Results: 279 eligible patients underwent the screening phase. 44% were overweight, 23% obese and 29% hypertensive. 62% of cases showed alterations of supra-aortic trunk with different percentages of stenosis. The neuropsychological evaluation highlighted that 67% of cases were normal according to age and education level, while 18% were in a state condition of cognitive frailty. Mild\/moderate cognitive decline, or probably AD, was identified in 14% of cases. Conclusions: A multidisciplinary collaboration between pharmacists and specialist medical doctors is essential in early identification of prodromal symptoms of cognitive impairment and AD. The Prompt detection of the condition in this group of patients allowed the specialists to recommend in-depth diagnostic tests and follow-up procedures to slow the course of the disease. This would give time to carry out adequate caregiver training.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-231295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]],"date-time":"2024-02-09T10:36:42Z","timestamp":1707475002000},"page":"145-150","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Early Detection Screening of Cognitive Decline in Patients Over 60 Years: ELDERCARE Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Putignano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Forgione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariano","family":"Fusco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ordine dei Farmacisti della Provincia di Napoli, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Attilio","family":"Giacummo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Magli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ordine dei Farmacisti della Provincia di Napoli, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saverio","family":"Marino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Marzano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ordine dei Farmacisti della Provincia di Napoli, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daria","family":"Putignano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Santamaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Geriatri Extraospedalieri a favore di Anziani Svantaggiati (A.G.E.A.S.), Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Micaela","family":"Spatarella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ordine dei Farmacisti della Provincia di Napoli, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Santagada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ordine dei Farmacisti della Provincia di Napoli, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-231295_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3326","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2019.04.034","article-title":"Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: JACC Scientific Expert Panel","volume":"73","author":"Iadecola","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-231295_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"726","DOI":"10.1007\/s12603-013-0367-2","article-title":"Cognitive frailty: Rational and definition from an (I.A.N.A.\/I.A.G.G.) international consensus group","volume":"17","author":"Kelaiditi","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Nutr Health Aging"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-231295_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1016\/j.maturitas.2018.12.006","article-title":"Cognitive frailty: A conceptual systematic review and an operational proposal for future research","volume":"121","author":"Facal","year":"2019","journal-title":"Maturitas"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-231295_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1007\/s10433-012-0234-8","article-title":"Using the Folstein Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) to explore methodological issues in cognitive aging research","volume":"9","author":"Monroe","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Ageing"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-231295_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.2340\/165019778416125132","article-title":"Katz index of independence in ADL.
