Finding alternative methods to assess cognitive function

Research output: Contribution to Conference › Poster

Abstract

In 2016, about 18% of the total population were aged 65 and above in the UK, and in 2066, it is projected that the size of this population will double to 26% (ONS, 2020). However, increasing age is a cardinal risk factor for decreased cognitive function, where patients are initially screened with a set of questions that can make some people feel stupid (Hellström et al., 2017). This research attempts to deduce an alternative method of assessing cognitive function by using standing balance and salivary biomarkers, which will be invaluable during the initial triaging of older adults with memory complaints.
