About this study

This is a community-based prospective cohort study in Beijing, China. The study has been initialized in 2023 and enrolled older residents. This study aims to develop disability risk assessment standards and an early warning model for older adults.

Read the detailed description

This is a community-based prospective cohort study. Individuals who aged 60 years or older, lived in the communities for more than 1 year, and signed the informed consent form were enrolled in the present study. The study has been initialized in 2023 and aimed to develop an early warning model and a series of disability risk assessment methods for older adults. This work consists of three steps as following. First, we will build a community-based cohort and thus set up a database. Second, an intelligence model for disability risk assessment will be developed using the database. Third, a series of procedures will be established according to the risk assessment model.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The prevalence and incidence of functional disability using a population-based survey

    Functional disability was measured by Activities of Daily Living, cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination) and movement disorder(Short Physical Performance Battery) collected by questionnaires.The minimum value of the Activities of Daily Living is 0, and the maximum value is 100, the higher the score, the better the outcome.The minimum value of the Mini-Mental State Examination is 0, and the maximum value is 30, the higher the score, the better the outcome.The minimum value of the Short Physical Performance Battery is 0, and the maximum value is 12, the higher the score, the better the outcome.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  2. The prevalence and incidence of mild cognitive impairment using a population-based survey

    Mild cognitive impairment was measured using Mini-Mental State Examination collected by questionnaire.The minimum value of the Mini-Mental State Examination is 0, and the maximum value is 30, the higher the score, the better the outcome.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  3. The prevalence and incidence of dementia using a population-based survey

    Dementia was determined by diagnosis of hospitalization or diagnosis of death or Clinical Dementia Rating scale. The minimum value of the Clinical Dementia Rating is 0, and the maximum value is 3, the higher the score, the worse the outcome.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  4. The conversion rate of normal to mild cognitive impairment

    Percentage of enrolled population that convert from normal to mild cognitive impairment

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  5. The conversion rate of mild cognitive impairment to dementia

    Percentage of enrolled population that convert from mild cognitive impairment to dementia

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  6. The genetic and environmental factors for mild cognitive impairment and dementia at genomic and expression levels

    Discover risk factors including genetic susceptibility loci (APOE genes and other risk genes) using gene sequencing, cardiovascular risk factors (blood glucose, cholesterol, homocysteine) using laboratory tests, and unhealthy lifestyle using questionnaire.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  7. The biomarkers for normal, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia diagnosis

    Humoral biomarkers are included Aβ42, Aβ40, phosphated tau and total tau in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and urine. Imaging biomarkers are included cerebral volume, glucose metabolism, amyloid and tau deposition of whole brain or hippocampus.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

  8. The prevalence and incidence of movement disorder using a population-based survey

    Movement disorder was measured using Short Physical Performance Battery collected by questionnaire.The minimum value of the Short Physical Performance Battery is 0, and the maximum value is 12, the higher the score, the better the outcome.

    Measured: An average of 1 to 2 years

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yi Tang, MD., PhD (00861083199456, tangyi@xwhosp.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The prevalence and incidence of functional disability using a population-based survey (time frame: An average of 1 to 2 years). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
