Cognitive Decline: Knowing the Elderly and Understanding their Caregiver

Various areas of the health field arouse diverse interests, and seeking knowledge is something that makes someone different. This book comes with a bold proposal to bring together studies in a unique way, showing through very specific research topics such as: Profile of the Elderly and Analysis of the Domains of a Depressive Symptom Scale; Profile of Caregivers of the Elderly and Analysis of the Domains of an Overload Scale; and Sociodemographic Profile of the Elderly in a Health District. The field of health is permeated by constant changes in information. Differentiated research, with extensive knowledge and quality about something or someone becomes a valuable way of understanding and drawing up a specific profile with conclusive and meaningful data. Against this backdrop, the studies covered in this book provide an opportunity to reflect on a variety of groups that can be studied and used as bridges for new research and studies.
