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).

This study creates a practical tool to measure “episodic memory,” which is your ability to recall events from daily life. It includes adults age 70+ with different memory levels, to see how well the tool works for people with dementia and for those without.
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 asks people who have been referred to a memory clinic about how they feel about their memory and memory changes with age. It aims to understand how confident you are in your memory and how that might shift over time.
This study follows older adults without dementia to see how frailty and memory changes happen over time. It helps doctors understand how to better support healthy aging.
This study tests strategies to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. It may help if you notice your thinking is not as sharp as before, but you can still manage daily tasks on your own.
This study looks at what factors might predict how quickly memory and thinking skills decline in people with Alzheimer's disease. It uses results from a standard memory test (MMSE) taken at two different times, one year apart, to understand patterns of decline.
