Abstract
Dementia has enormous impacts on health and quality of life for people with the illness, their families and other people who care for them. Many people with dementia need care in many areas of their lives, and use a range of health and social care services, as well as getting support from their unpaid carers. Many people with dementia eventually move into care homes. The costs of caring for people with dementia can therefore be high. As the UK population ages over the coming decades, the number of people with dementia will increase considerably. A big challenge facing the country is how to provide high-quality treatment and support to these individuals in ways that are acceptable to them and at a cost considered by society to be affordable.
In England, care and support arrangements are guided by the National Dementia Strategy; there are similar commitments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Last year the Prime Minister announced his personal 'Challenge' on dementia. Dementia is now getting unprecedented attention: it is a high priority for government, the NHS and local councils. Our research will feed new evidence into this national debate to help decision-makers at many levels in health and social care systems to meet the needs and respond to the preferences of people with dementia and their carers in ways that make best use of the country's resources.
We will examine existing data to get a clearer understanding of the links between a number of factors: the characteristics of individuals and families, their dementia-related and other needs for care and support, and the services and treatments that could be available to them. We will look at the effects of care, support and treatments on outcomes for individuals and carers - how those interventions can improve their health and wellbeing - and also on the costs of support.
With this information we will first make projections of how many people there will be with dementia over the period to 2040, what family or other unpaid support they are likely to have available, and what it will cost to provide care services. Second, we will examine whether there are better ways to support people with dementia and their carers by introducing new forms of care and treatment. For this part of the research we will rely on previous studies that have examined whether these interventions improve health and wellbeing, and at what cost. We will identify those 'new ways' by reviewing previous studies of dementia care and treatment (and also reviewing ways to prevent or delay dementia). We will look for evidence on, e.g., medications, cognitive stimulation and other therapies, exercise programmes, nutrition advice, telecare, community initiatives, respite and training for carers.
We will collect new data from 300 people with dementia and their carers, looking at their lives, needs and care at two time points over 12 months. We will not be testing any interventions with these people. Instead we need information to help make the best use of data that we can draw from previous studies. We will also conduct interviews and set up focus groups so that we can get 'experiential' evidence, including information on people's preferences.
We will pull all this evidence together to simulate what would be likely to happen if interventions with proven benefits for people with dementia and/or their carers were more widely adopted nationally over the coming decades. We are particularly interested in the economic implications: how the future costs of care might be reduced while health and wellbeing are improved.
We will develop a publicly available tool (accessible via the Web) to enable commissioners, providers, charities, individuals and families to use our evidence to make projections of future costs under different assumptions about population needs, services and treatments. We will work with people with dementia, carers and other potential users of our research at all stages of the project.

Planned Impact
Our project will generate unusually rich insights into the needs and circumstances of people with dementia over future decades, the health and wellbeing consequences of a range of interventions, and cost implications across all relevant budgets. These insights (made available as far as possible during the study) will be of relevance to national and local decision-makers, people with dementia, families and the public. We plan continuous, informative engagement with relevant communities. Inputs from our Advisory and Reference Groups will be key.
We will also establish an Impact Advisory Group, composed of chief executives and/or public policy leads of a range of key public and other bodies (e.g. relevant royal colleges, DH, Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, Carers UK). This high-level group will meet to discuss key project milestones, helping us to tailor our work to ensure effective translation for policy discussion and service development, with the aim of improving the lives of people with dementia and carers.
We will seek dialogue with some Councils (and ADASS and LGA) to discuss what they and partner Clinical Commissioning Groups would find helpful to assist in planning public health, health and social care interventions. Links to the NHS Commissioning Board, Public Health England and Think Local Act Personal will be important too.
We will present findings at regular intervals to stakeholders and to brief relevant parliamentary committees, all party parliamentary groups, parliamentary inquiries, relevant consultations and non-governmental stakeholders. We have good experience of this (e.g. our earlier macro-simulation models have been instrumental in guiding government thought in the area of need for and cost of long term care through the DH and in evidence to the House of Commons Health Committee, Dilnot Commission on the Funding of Care and Support, and the House of Lords Select Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change). Interim findings will be discussed with research users and put in the public domain as soon as possible via briefing notes and discussion papers. External designers will help us produce infographics and visual representations within texts. We will disseminate interim findings through a dedicated blog and tweets. We will assess research impact by asking stakeholders how well our interim/final findings, and in due course the model made publicly available, have assisted policy development and planning of services. We will track citations to our work (policy documents, parliamentary reports, media).
At the end of the project, we will produce a range of outputs:
- a policy-based report outlining findings and associated implications for next steps
- an overall project summary and guide for the wider public, connecting research findings to the everyday life and challenges of people with dementia, families and carers. This will include infographics, pictures and real-life testimonials to contextualise and humanise the academic evidence. We will look to use animation in the form of the RSA's 'Animate' series; it would be uploaded to relevant websites and social media sites
- the web-based interactive legacy model will be free to use by commissioners, providers, researchers and general public
- we will hold seminars with stakeholders and experts during the project to present interim findings and discuss scenarios for modelling. We will hold a major event at the end of the project to present findings to central and local government, voluntary organisations, people with dementia, carers and academics. We will present our findings at seminars and conferences arranged by others.

MODEM Project Summary (Current Findings)
Description | 1) Risk factors of cognitive impairment Findings from this component of the study suggest that the social activities of individuals and their social networks help to maintain steady levels of cognition, in addition to their education. Researchers from the University of Southampton (Jitka Pikhartova and Ann Bowling) investigated a hypothesis drawn from the literature that the following factors might be associated with cognition at 50 years old: health behaviours, social support and social net in adolescence, and socio-economic characteristics during childhood and adulthood. The team used data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS). This is a longitudinal data set which follows the lives of 17,000 adults born in a single week in 1958. The associations between the possible risk factors and cognition at age of 50 were analysed using linear regression for multivariable analysis. Positive associations with cognition were found with participation in civic activities at the age of 33 and 50, frequent participation in sporting activities at age 42, highest achieved qualification, and being female. On the other hand, having a manually working father at age of 11 and having at least 2 family members to whom respondents could turn for advice at the age of 33 were negatively associated with cognitive outcomes. 2) Fertility history and cognition in later life Using data from the English Longitudinal Survey of Ageing (ELSA), Dr Sanna Read and Professor Emily Grundy from the London School of Economics and Political Science looked at the level and changes in cognition (memory and word fluency) over an 8-year period among women and men aged 50 or more at the start of the study. They assessed how cognition was associated with number of children (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 children), early parenthood (before age 20 for women and 23 for men) and late parenthood (after age 35 for women and 39 for men). Previous work on parenthood and cognition has mainly focused on women only and a narrow range of physiological effects, especially hormonal factors. The novelty in this study was to include both men and women and widen the scope to consider the role of socio-economic position, health and social factors in the association. Findings reveal that family building history has both negative and positive effects on cognition in later life. Large family size and early parenthood were associated with poorer cognitive functioning in both men and women, following a similar pattern as found previously for other health outcomes. Poorer cognitive functioning in these cases resulted from negative pathways between early parenting, larger family size and poorer socioeconomic position, which further affect health and social engagement in later life. The benefits of parenting on cognition were also evident; parents had higher cognitive functioning than childless men and women. Moreover, those women who experienced their last birth after turning 35 also exhibited higher cognitive functioning in later life. Although some of these benefits were due to better socioeconomic position, health and social engagement, these background factors did not fully explain why parenthood and cognition was positively associated. Findings were recently published in the Journal of Gerontology. 3) Technology-based tools and services for people with dementia and carers The project collaborated with the Department of Health and Social Care's Policy Innovation Research Unit to identify how technologies fit within the dementia care pathway, by conducting a scoping review of digital technology, robotics and other technology (as relevant) in the care and support of people with dementia and/or their unpaid family and other carers, and supplementing this with experiential information gathered from people with dementia and carers, and interviews with experts in the field. The research found that the largest number of technologies identified aim to enhance the safety and security of people with dementia living in the community. These devices are often passive monitors, such as smoke detectors. Other safety interventions, such as panic buttons, require active intervention. The second largest number of interventions aims to enhance people's memory and includes global positioning systems devices and voice prompts. These technologies mostly target people in the early stages of dementia. A third group focusing on treatment and care delivery emerged from the literature. These interventions focus on technology-aided reminiscence or therapeutic aspects of care for people with dementia and their carers. While the review found a range of technologies available for people with dementia and carers there is very little evidence of widespread practical application. Instead, it appears that stakeholders frequently rely on everyday technologies re-purposed to meet their needs. 4) Microsimulation epidemiological model The MODEM project has developed a new dynamic micro-simulation model called the Population, Ageing and Care Simulation (PACSim). Its aim is to model (a) the health and associated care needs of the English population over the coming decades; and (b) the impact of interventions for risk factor reduction, disease prevention and treatments that slow down progression to disease and disability. The model builds on two similar ones: firstly a previous epidemiological macro-simulation model, SIMPOP, which linked multiple diseases to disability to project future disability burden in people aged 65 years and over; and secondly DynoptaSim, an Australian dynamic micro-simulation model of the health and functional status of the Australian population aged 45 years and over. The base population for PACSim is individuals aged 35 years and over from three longitudinal studies: the new CFAS cohort; the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA); and Understanding Society (waves 1 and 2). Baseline characteristics generated on individuals include: sociodemographic (age, sex, living arrangements/marital status, education, occupation, retirement); lifestyle behaviours (smoking, physical activity, BMI, social engagement); diseases/geriatric conditions (dementia/cognitive impairment, CHD, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, respiratory disease, hearing impairment, visual impairment). The outcome variable is disability as measured by the interval of need scale, and categorising people on the basis of activities of daily living and cognitive function on the intensity of care required. The technical report gives further detail about the construction of PACSim. We found that between 2015 and 2035 in England, both the prevalence of, and numbers with, dependency will fall for the young-old (65-74 years) whilst for very old adults (=85 years) numbers with low dependency will increase by 148% and with high dependency (24-hr care) will almost double (increase of 91.8%) though prevalence will change little. For men aged 65 there will be a compression of dependency as gains in years independent (4.1 years) exceed gains in life expectancy (3.5 years). In contrast for women there will be an expansion of mainly low dependency. In 2015 just over half (58%) of older adults with dementia and substantial (medium or high) dependency will have at least two other concurrent conditions whilst by 2035 this proportion will rise to 81%. Multi-morbidity prevalence and years spent with multi-morbidity are estimated to increase over the same period, but the largest increases will be seen in 4+ diseases where the proportion will rise from 9.8% to 17%, and most of the life expectancy gains will be in years spent with 4+ diseases. Findings from this part of the project were published in a MODEM technical report, in Age and Ageing in January 2018, and in Lancet Public Health in August 2018. The findings received considerable media coverage. 5) Macrosimulation model Outputs from the microsimulation model on intensity of care by age, gender and year in the presence of dementia form inputs to the MODEM macrosimulation model. Scenarios for risk-factor reduction and treatment strategies will be informed by reviews on costs, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent or delay dementia onset, being undertaken in other parts of the project (e.g. exercise, social engagement). Outputs include life expectancies with different care needs (to feed into the care pathways model developed by other members of the study) and years spent with and without individual diseases and multimorbidity to allow exploration of the likelihood of compression or expansion of morbidity/disability given different health scenarios. Development of our macrosimulation model has taken place with data drawn from the MODEM PACSIM model, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2014-based population projections, the Cognitive Function and Ageing Study (CFASII), NHS Digital data from local authorities, MODEM cohort study data and PSSRU Unit Costs of Health & Social Care. We estimated the number of people living with dementia currently: this figure is around 690,000 people with dementia in England, of whom 565,000 receive unpaid care or community care or live in a care home. We calculated the total annual cost of dementia in England at £24.2 billion in 2015, of which 42% (£10.1 billion) is attributable to unpaid care. Social care costs (£10.2 billion) are three times larger than healthcare costs (£3.8 billion). £6.2 billion of the total social care costs are met by users themselves and their families, with £4.0 billion (39.4%) funded by government. Total annual costs of mild, moderate, and severe dementia are £3.2 billion, £6.9 billion and £14.1 billion, respectively. Average costs of mild, moderate and severe dementia are £24,400, £27,450, and £46,050, respectively, per person per year. We used the microsimulation and macrosimulation models together to make projections of future numbers of people living with dementia and the costs of their support under current care arrangements. There will be increases in the numbers of older people living with dementia, and more people needing care. In 2035 it is projected that there will be 1,350,000 people living with dementia in England. By 2035 in England, the numbers of people with low care needs will increase by 148%, and the numbers with high needs (meaning they require 24-hour care) will increase by 92%. We made projections of the demand for unpaid care, social care and healthcare for the older population with dementia and of the associated costs of care from 2015 to 2040. We conducted regression analyses to identify the key drivers of receipt of unpaid care and of care services. Our projections take account of expected changes in the prevalence of dementia from the PACSim model, changes in the number of older people by age and gender published by the ONS and expected real rises in wages reported by the O?ce for Budget Responsibility (OBR). The costs of dementia in England are projected to increase from £23.0 billion in 2015 to £80.1 billion in 2040. Findings were published in two papers in 2019, one in Age and Ageing and the other in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, with associated press coverage. Another paper on methods of costing unpaid care is in preparation. The figures for current costs, future predicted prevalence and future predicted costs are quoted by third sector organisations such as the Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK, as well as by DHSC. 6) Care pathways We have mapped the full dementia care pathway in England to understand access to services and interventions. By the dementia care pathway, we mean the stages of care that people living with dementia and carers may experience, from the very first symptoms or concerns, to the end of life, considering health, social care and community services. We have done this through a wide consultation that enabled us to map graphically the sequence of services that are potentially available, and then proceeded to look for data on the numbers of people living with dementia and carers that are able to access those services in practice. This process has highlighted that, while there is a wide variety of services available in England, the system is very fragmented and complex, suggesting that, without good care coordination, it is not easy for people living with dementia and their carers to access services. It is also evident that there is a relatively well-established health care pathway and data on what happens up to the point of diagnosis, but, in contrast, there is very little information to enable the monitoring of how well the current dementia care services are able to provide adequate care, treatment and support beyond diagnosis. A paper is in preparation. 7) Cohort analyses Over 300 dyads of people with dementia and their carers were recruited onto our cohort study, with at least 100 each with mild, moderate and severe dementia. We were successful in recruiting 307 people living with dementia and their primary carer. Cross-sectional data analysis revealed: proxy-report, but not self-report, quality of life of the person with dementia is associated with dementia severity; carer quality of life is not a?ected by dementia severity, even after controlling for key confounding variables; factors such as the quality of life of the person with dementia and carer burden, are significantly associated with carer quality of life. 250 participants were available to participate at the 12-month follow-up. Longitudinal data analysis revealed: between testing, approximately 45% of participants experienced at least one of the following; a) hospital admission, b) moving into residential care, c) commenced formal home care, d) had a fall in quality of life (0.10 decline in EQ5D); having severe dementia is associated with poorer generic quality of life at follow-up when compared to mild severity participants. This was not found in the disease-specific quality of life outcome; and disease-specific quality of life at follow-up is significantly associated with greater behavioural disturbance. Even within a year, therefore, there can be significant changes to an individual's dementia severity and/or personal circumstances. It is estimated that unpaid carers spend, on average, at least 71 hours a week caring. The quality of life of carers does not depend upon whether the person they are caring for has mild, moderate or severe dementia. However, it is affected by whether the person living with dementia has a good or poor quality of life and how much time carers spend caring. Two papers have been submitted to journals from this part of the study. 8) Evidence on advance care planning The MODEM study has gathered new evidence on the lives of people with dementia and their carers, and interventions that could delay onset, slow deterioration in cognition, functioning or behaviour, or reduce their adverse impacts on wellbeing, and on costs. A paper focusing on the evidence on the effectiveness of advance care planning (ACP) in improving end of life outcomes for people with dementia and their carers was published in January 2018 in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management. Systematic searches of academic databases (CINAHL Plus with full text, PsycINFO, SocINDEX with full text, and PubMed) were conducted to identify research studies, published between January 2000-January 2017 and involving statistical methods, in which ACP is an intervention or independent variable, and in which end-of-life outcomes for people with dementia and/or their carers are reported. A total of 18 relevant studies were identified. Most found ACP to be associated with some improved end-of-life outcomes. Studies were predominantly, but not exclusively, from the U.S. and care home-based. The type of ACP and outcome measures varied. Quality was assessed using National Institute of Health and Care Excellence quality appraisal checklists. Over half of the studies were of moderate to high quality. Three were randomized controlled trials, two of which were low quality. Findings suggest that there is a need for more high-quality outcome studies, particularly using randomized designs to control for confounding. These need to be underpinned by sufficient development work and process evaluation to clarify the appropriateness of outcome measures, explore implementation issues and identify "active elements." 9) Dementia Evidence Toolkit Additional funding was provided by the ESRC to support the project to build on our systematic mapping of the literature on effectiveness of interventions in dementia to develop an evidence library. The Dementia Evidence Toolkit was launched in July 2016 and is a web-based resource consisting of: a searchable coded bibliographic database of 3000 empirical papers and 700 systematic reviews on interventions for the treatment, care and support of people with dementia and carers, comprising the period between 2009 and June 2015; and plain language summaries of the evidence on the effectiveness (and cost-effectiveness) of key care and treatment interventions. The aim of the Toolkit is to provide easy access to scientific evidence of dementia care and treatment and to provide clear and rigorous information to people living with dementia, family and other unpaid carers, staff working in the health and social care sectors, local and strategic decision-makers and researchers. The toolkit has evaluated the evidence base for typical interventions in use in the UK: Advance Care Planning, STAR, Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, Music Therapy and START: Strategies for Relatives. These interventions were found to be cost-effective, and further detailed information is available on the Toolkit website. 10) Evidence-based interventions We examined the potential for a number of evidence-based interventions to be more widely delivered across the country over future years to help people living with dementia and their carers. We looked particularly at three: cognitive stimulation therapy, combining anti-dementia medicines, and support for carers (using the START approach as the basis for analyses). We modelled the health, quality of life and cost impacts of making these interventions more widely available over the period to 2040. There are cost savings with some interventions, health improvements and quality of life gains. Papers from these analyses are currently in preparation for submission to journals. 11) Carer gender and age As part of a MODEM studentship, we investigated if and how well-being and quality of life of carers of people living with dementia are a?ected by di?erences associated with carer gender and age. We used a literature review to investigate how well-being and quality of life of carers of people living with dementia have been measured, and qualitative research based on interviews with family carers to investigate aspects that carers reported as important to their well-being. Results from the quantitative analysis cautiously suggested that women might experience worse outcomes than men with respect to health-related quality of life, happiness and life satisfaction. Carer age influenced mental health outcomes in two of the studies, but results were not conclusive. Results from the final analysis showed that women spent more time than men on personal care and instrumental activities of daily living tasks. No statistically significant di?erence was found for carer gender regarding time spent on supervision or total time spent caring. Similarly, carer age was not found to significantly a?ect the time carers spent on any of the task groups investigated. This suggests that carer age does not play a significant role in determining the intensity of care provided. |
Exploitation Route | The MODEM study formed the basis of two substantial new studies. One is funded by RCUK's Global Challenges Research Fund. This is STRiDE: Strengthening responses to dementia in developing countries (ES/P010938/1). The study started in October 2017 and runs for 51 months. The study is working with local partners and stakeholders in seven middle-income countries (Brazil, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico and South Africa) to: (a) build capacity in generating and using research evidence/tools to support policies for improvement of dementia care, treatment and support; (b) build up research evidence on what works in dementia in low- and middle-income countries; (c) better understand impacts of dementia in various cultural, social and economic contexts to help countries develop appropriate responses; and (d) support development, financing, planning, implementation and evaluation of national dementia plans. One component of the study will attempt to develop the Dementia Evidence Toolkit into an international evidence database. A second study which has built explicitly on MODEM has recently started, and involves most of the MODEM team in further collaboration. This is DETERMIND: DETERMinants of quality of life, care and costs, and consequences of INequalities in people with Dementia and their family carers (ES/S010351/1). The study will look at inequalities in dementia care and outcomes and what we can do to improve them. It will have a unique focus on decision-making, how care is funded, people with dementia of black Caribbean and South Asian heritage, the older LGBTQ+ population, and the benefits and harms of earlier and later diagnosis of dementia. DETERMIND will focus on identifying and understanding factors that generate unequal access and experiences, leading to inequalities in care and inequities in outcome in the three years following diagnosis, and will recruit a large (n=900) cohort of people newly diagnosed with dementia and their carers and follow them closely for three years to do this. Further funding opportunities are also being explored to build on other components of the MODEM study. In addition, funding has been received from the Alzheimer's Society to project the future costs of dementia for the Alzheimer's Society across the four countries of the UK (i.e. extending beyond England, which was the focus of the main MODEM study) using an updated version of the MODEM model. The resulting Working Paper underpinned a report by the Alzheimer's Society which has led to the Government considering further measures to support dementia care. Members of the team are part of key stakeholder groups and initiatives which are utilising MODEM findings. Martin Knapp, Sube Banerjee and Adelina Comas-Herrera were part of a taskforce established by the Alzheimer's Society of leading UK clinicians and researchers in dementia, UK funders of dementia research, people with dementia, and carer representatives to develop, using iterative consensus methodology, goals and recommendations to advance dementia research by 2025. Emerging findings from the MODEM study fed into this taskforce which published its recommendations in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry in February 2018.

Description | A summary report of our findings (prepared for a launch event in November 2018, attended by 120 people) is available on our website, and we have finalised a policy report alongside an animated video targeted at people living with dementia and carers. The MODEM Dementia Evidence Toolkit has generated impact: at the launch event (July 2016), Jeremy Hughes CEO of the Alzheimer's Society said it 'puts all that evidence together in an accessible and usable way in the public domain'. In just its first four months, the Toolkit had 7,029 visits and 9,155 searches from researchers, carers, social workers, commissioners, GPs, and people with dementia - demonstrating the breadth of reach for the resource. Project team members continue to present findings at conferences and seminars, as well as sharing them as part of policy discussions. We have a number of stakeholders who continue to engage with us to utilise and build on the findings, including the Alzheimer's Society and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). Findings from MODEM have been shared regularly with DHSC officials, including through three invited presentations at their offices, plus other briefings. Additional analyses were conducted at the request of DHSC analysts as they prepared for the 2020 Spending Review, which was later shelved. DHSC commissioned further work using this model within one of its new Policy Research Units, to address a range of policy-related questions regarding the older population. In early March 2019 we were asked for evidence from MODEM (on potential savings from better prevention efforts) to feed into DHSC work to prepare the Green Paper on social care. We have continued to receive requests to provide evidence building on MODEM research (details are set out in the Key Findings section). MODEM findings on projections of future needs from our microsimulation modelling (led by Jagger and Kingston) received significant media attention when published in two papers in 2018. The first of these papers was awarded the Dhole-Eddlestone Memorial Prize for best paper in Age and Ageing in 2018. Figures from our projections of prevalence and cost were quoted in a speech by the Secretary of State in a major speech on dementia in December 2018, and continue to feed into policy discussions, including through follow-on modelling on the costs of dementia for the Alzheimer's Society. Estimates generated as part of the MODEM, building on data collected within the CFAS study, were cited in the NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019. Based on reviewing undertaken within MODEM, summaries of economic evidence were requested from CPEC by the National Clinical Director for Dementia at NHS England and NHS Improvement. These were published as case studies on their websites to inform and influence local patterns of NHS commissioning and provision. Findings from research on social isolation, and the costs of dementia, received considerable press attention in 2019. Building on evidence syntheses in MODEM, Comas-Herrera and Knapp were members of an Alzheimer's Society taskforce that prepared a 'roadmap' recommending dementia research goals to support policymakers, influence funding opportunities and develop research infrastructure. Knapp was invited to join the small Expert Advisory Group for WHO's Dementia Blueprint for Action "to accelerate global dementia research and innovation". |

Title | Population, Ageing and Care Simulation (PACSim) |
Description | The MODEM project has developed a new dynamic micro-simulation model called the Population, Ageing and Care Simulation (PACSim). Its aim is to model (a) the health and associated care needs of the English population over the coming decades; and (b) the impact of interventions for risk factor reduction, disease prevention and treatments that slow down progression to disease and disability. The model builds on two similar ones: firstly a previous epidemiological macro-simulation model, SIMPOP, which linked multiple diseases to disability to project future disability burden in people aged 65 years and over; and secondly DynoptaSim, an Australian dynamic micro-simulation model of the health and functional status of the Australian population aged 45 years and over. The base population for PACSim is individuals aged 35 years and over from three longitudinal studies: the new CFAS cohort; the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA); and Understanding Society (waves 1 and 2). Baseline characteristics generated on individuals include: sociodemographic (age, sex, living arrangements/marital status, education, occupation, retirement); lifestyle behaviours (smoking, physical activity, BMI, social engagement); diseases/geriatric conditions (dementia/cognitive impairment, CHD, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, respiratory disease, hearing impairment, visual impairment). The outcome variable is disability as measured by the interval of need scale, and categorising people on the basis of activities of daily living and cognitive function on the intensity of care required. The technical report gives further detail about the construction of PACSim. |
Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - human |
Year Produced | 2018 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | The PACSim tool is being used within the MODEM study. Outputs on intensity of care by age, gender and year in the presence of dementia will form inputs to the MODEM macro-simulation model. Scenarios for risk factor reduction and treatment strategies will be informed by reviews on costs, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent or delay dementia onset, being undertaken in other parts of the project (e.g. exercise, social engagement). Outputs will also include life expectancies with different care needs (to feed into the care pathways model in WP10) and years spent with and without individual diseases and multimorbid to allow exploration of the likelihood of compression or expansion of morbidity/disability given different health scenarios. |

Title | Dementia Evidence Toolkit |
Description | The Dementia Evidence Toolkit is for commissioners, care providers, people working in health and social care and people with dementia and their families. The toolkit has two resources: • A searchable database with information on over 1433 research studies on interventions for people living with dementia and their carers • Summaries of the research findings for some of the main care and treatment interventions. |
Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
Year Produced | 2016 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | There has been growing use of the Toolkit, and the summaries have been used by third sector organisations and others. The Toolkit is relatively new and we expect the impact to increase over time. |

Results and Impact | The Regional Policy Dialogue is an Inter-American Development Bank initiative that seeks to facilitate dialogue between Ministers and Deputy Ministers to exchange experiences and ideas on policy opportunities that contribute to the development agendas of Latin American and Caribbean countries. This event featured the participation of worldwide experts and IDB specialists to learn about and debate four key issues in the design and implementation of a long-term care system: Who to provide long-term care services for? What services to provide? How to ensure the quality of long-term care? How to finance the system? In addition, the event offered the opportunity to discuss the role of technology n long-term care, among other topics. Adelina Comas-Herrera was invited to present on the implications of dementia for long-term care systems, introduced the STRiDE project's approach and, with Mariana Lopez-Ortega (from STRiDE Mexico) and Ricardo Pérez-Cuevas (a Senior Health Specialist from the IDB who is in the STRiDE Jamaica National Advisory Group held a panel session discussing experiences of carrying out STRiDE in Mexico and Jamaica and the value of this approach (this is available on video). Adelina's presentation also included material from the MODEM project. Following this presentation, Adelina Comas-Herrera has been in discussions about the possibilities to carrying out STRiDE in other countries in the American continent, including Argentina, Peru and Cuba. |

During this workshop I acted as an external expert, facilitating discussions of ways forward in dementia policy development with groups of policy-makers and NGO representatives from various countries. The discussion with the representative of the ministry of health of India was particularly encouraging as, by considering the option of adding dementia to existing National Plans on NCDs and mental health rather than having to develop a whole new dementia plan, he could see a potential avenue to contribute to the development of national policy in dementia that he had not considered before. India is one of the countries in the STRiDE project and we plan to continue that dialogue as part of the project's work. |

Results and Impact | Alzheimer's Society facilitated a taskforce of leading UK clinicians and researchers in dementia, UK funders of dementia research, people with dementia, and carer representatives to develop, using iterative consensus methodology, goals and recommendations to advance dementia research. We developed recommendations to advance research on prevention, diagnosis, intervention, and care in dementia, focusing on real-world outcomes. The roadmap is aimed at researchers who can respond through development of their own research proposals, and for funders and research policy stakeholders who can influence the availability and direction of research funding and the research environment, including strengthening and developing the United Kingdom's skill base with new capacity building. The launch of the roadmap was accompanied by an article in the Guardian and one on the Huffington post and a social media campaign. |
