Barriers and facilitators for the implementation of an integrated evaluation for older adults including a digital cognitive tool in primary care settings in Mexico City [PDF]
Abstract Background In Mexico, cognitive impairment and dementia go undetected due to lack of policies and complementary services. In addition, health care professionals (HCPs) are rarely trained in geriatrics/gerontology, the diagnosis and management of these conditions. Lack of training not only prevents optimal care, but generates important barriers

Executive Functions in Latin American Older Adults: Exploring the Concept Shifting Test and Its Relationship with the APOE Gene in a Cross‐Sectional Sample from the LatAm‐FINGERS Study [PDF]
Abstract Background Latin America (LA) faces high vulnerability to dementia risk factors. Early detection of cognitive decline, particularly in executive functions (EF), is crucial. The Trail Making Test (TMT) has limitations, while the Concept Shifting Test (CST) offers potential advantages but lacks LA adaptation.
