SAGE: Self-Administered Cognitive Assessment

Assessment for mental status and cognition are vital if we are to spot the early warning signs of disease. The problem is if we wait until we have trouble remembering where we put the keys we may be well along the path to dementia with lots of damage done. ​ Also as we’ve discussed in other videos, the changes of Alzheimers disease start decades before subjective cognitive impairment so tests like these will help us to create a valuable baseline to pick up any changes well before they would otherwise be diagnosed. Today we will be looking at the SAGE exam which stands for Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination. It is designed to detect early signs of cognitive, memory or thinking impairments. https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media... https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media... https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media... https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media...  #SAGE #wellness #dementia #lifestylemedicine #younger #biohacking #RobertLufkinMD #alzheimers #cognitive ** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ** Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:  / robertlufkinmd   Youtube:    / robertlufkinmd   ** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ** Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact ** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ** We do work with sponsors and brands.
