Study of factors linked to memory and independence decline
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks for what predicts loss of day-to-day independence in people with memory problems. It aims to better understand early warning signs so care can be planned sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are being seen at a memory clinic or a brain/memory (neuro-cognition) service for a medical visit.
- You live at home or in regular housing (not in a care institution).
- You have a memory problem, at any stage.
- You must be able to take part in study exams despite hearing and eyesight issues (or you can be examined with no major barriers).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people who are newly evaluated in a memory clinic to better understand what predicts how memory and independence may change. It may help clinicians plan care that supports autonomy as the condition progresses.
This study follows older adults over time to understand how frailty and thinking abilities change together. It may help identify ways to support healthy aging.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This study follows older adults with normal memory, mild memory problems, or dementia over a year to see if brain scans and blood tests can predict who will get worse. It may help find early warning signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
This trial tests a program to help maintain or improve memory and thinking skills in older adults. You may join if you are 60-89, speak English, and live at home or in an assisted-living facility.
This study tests a non-drug program (like exercise or memory activities) to see if it can help older adults who feel their memory is slipping. If you join, you may learn ways to support your memory and thinking.
