Summary

This study is following 1,200 people from two memory clinics in Paris to see how sleep patterns, daily routines, and other personal factors relate to different types and stages of dementia. Participants will wear an activity tracker, answer questionnaires, and have cognitive tests. The goal is to find simple ways to screen for dementia subtypes like Alzheimer's or Lewy body dementia, and track how the disease progresses over up to 15 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this research could help doctors identify dementia subtypes and stages earlier using simple questionnaires and wearable devices.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any therapy, and results may take years to influence clinical practice.
