Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Previous studies reported the negative impact of social isolation on mental health in people with dementia (PwD) and their caregivers, butlongitudinal studies seem scarcer.
UNASSIGNED: To describe a one-year follow-up impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PwD and their caregivers in both Brazil and Chile.
UNASSIGNED: This study analyzed the impact of the pandemic on the psychological and physical health of PwD and their family caregivers after one year of follow-up in three outpatient clinics in Brazil (n = 68) and Chile (n = 61).
UNASSIGNED: In both countries, PwD reduced their functional capacity after one year of follow-up (p = 0.017 and p = 0.009; respectively) and caregivers reported worse physical and mental health (p = 0.028 and p = 0.039). Only in Chile, caregivers reported more sadness associated with care (p = 0.001), and reduced time sleeping (p = 0.07).
UNASSIGNED: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have had a long-lasting impact on PwD and their caregivers. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the inherent progression of dementia itself may also influence changes observed over a year.

摘要：
■先前的研究报告了社会隔离对痴呆症患者及其照顾者的心理健康的负面影响，但纵向研究似乎很少。
■描述了COVID-19大流行对巴西和智利普华永道及其照顾者的一年随访影响。
■这项研究分析了在巴西（n=68）和智利（n=61）的三家门诊诊所进行为期一年的随访后，大流行对普华永道及其家庭护理人员的心理和身体健康的影响。
■在这两个国家，经过一年的随访，PwD降低了他们的功能能力（分别为p=0.017和p=0.009），护理人员的身心健康状况较差（p=0.028和p=0.039）。只有在智利，护理人员报告了更多与护理相关的悲伤(p=0.001)，减少睡眠时间（p=0.07）。
■总而言之，COVID-19大流行似乎对PwD及其护理人员产生了长期影响。然而,必须承认,痴呆本身的内在进展也可能影响一年内观察到的变化.
