Publication Normalization of Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) in Chilean older people(2023) Sepúlveda-Ibarra, Consuelo; Henríquez Chaparro, Fernando; Marcittum Anthony; Soto, Guillermo; Slachevsky Chonchol, AndreaRowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) is a cognitive screening that evaluates older people with low educational levels. In Chile, there are no normative data to assess this population. Objective: To obtain normative data on RUDAS in older Chilean people with up to 12 years of schooling, and to determine whether age and schooling years influence a person’s performance on RUDAS and on the items that constitute it. Methods: A group of cognitively healthy people 60 years old or over, with up to 12 schooling years was evaluated (n=135). Multiple regression models were applied to obtain normative data on RUDAS, according to age and schooling years, and to measure the effects of schooling on different items. Results: Regression analysis showed that none of the items had schooling as a significant predictor, except for the visuoconstruction item. The variables age and schooling explained 12.6% (R^2=0.126) of the RUDAS total score variance. The item visuoconstruction was the most associated with the educational level (OR=1,147). Conclusion: This study showed that RUDAS is a recommended instrument for evaluating older people with low educational levels. However, more studies are needed to prove the validity of the RUDAS on Chilean older people.Publication Gaps in clinical research in frontotemporal dementia: A call for diversity and disparities-focused research(2023) Franzen, Sanne; Nuytemans, Karen; Bourdage, Renelle; Caramelli, Paulo; Ellajosyula, Ratnavalli; Finger, Elizabeth; Illán-Gala, Ignacio; Loi, Samantha M.; Morhardt, Darby; Pijnenburg, Yolande; Rascovsky, Katya; Williams, Monique M.; Yokoyama, Jennifer S.; Alladi, Suvarna; Ayhan, Yavuz; Broce, Iris; Castro-Suarez, Sheila; Coleman, Kristy; Cruz de Souza, Leonardo; Dacks, Penny A.; Boer, Sterr C.

FTD's exact clinical presentation varies by culture, language, education, social norms, and other socioeconomic factors; current research and clinical practice, however, is mainly based on studies conducted in North America and Western Europe. Changes in diagnostic criteria and procedures as well as new or adapted cognitive tests are likely needed to take into consideration global diversity. This perspective paper by two professional interest areas of the Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment examines how increasing global diversity impacts the clinical presentation, screening, assessment, and diagnosis of FTD and its treatment and care. It subsequently provides recommendations to address immediate needs to advance global FTD research and clinical practice.
