Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to introduce a standardised assessment tool by verifying the reliability of the translated Korean version of the Feeding Abilities Assessment (K-FAA), which was developed to suit Korean culture.
Methods: The research subjects were 65 patients with dementia living in nursing homes. The K-FAA was completed by verifying the suitability of translation and reverse translation. The validity of the K-FAA was established through content validity, while its reliability was analysed based on internal consistency reliability for the items, test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability.
Results: The content validity index determined, based on the assessment of professors, occupational therapists, and nurses, was more than .70. Cronbach's α was more than .929, showing good internal consistency. A test-retest reliability of .884 was derived using Pearson's correlation coefficient (p < .01), and an inter-rater reliability of .800 was derived using the kappa coefficients; intraclass correlation coefficient was .897, which also indicated good reliability.
Conclusion: The K-FAA was modified to fit the Korean domestic situation, and this assessment had high reliability. Therefore, K-FAA can evaluate the feeding ability of patients with dementia. Future studies should focus on providing evidence-based data to maintain or supplement the feeding ability of patients with dementia in Korea.

Introduction: The role of triglycerides in Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) progression remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how triglyceride levels influence the relationship between amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition, hippocampal atrophy, and cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage ADD.
Methods: A total 188 older adults (170 with MCI, 18 with early ADD) from the Gwangju Alzheimer's Disease and Related cohort underwent amyloid PET and structural magnetic resonance imaging.

Purpose: To identify and explore the latent categories of self-control and clarify the relationship between self-control and self-management of stroke survivors under different categories.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Dual-Mode Self-Control Scale, and the Stroke Self-Management Scale to measure sociodemographic data, self-control, and self-management. The questionnaires were administered face-to-face, and a convenience sampling method was used to collect the data.
