Caregiver burden affects physical and psychological health more than non-caregivers.
“Therefore, another element that should be considered is caregiver burden, which affects physical and psychological health more than non-caregivers [204].”
From Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: Beyond Symptomatic Therapies (2023) · cites this paper as [204]
The Conclusions report poorer psychological and physical health among caregivers than non-caregivers. However, Study selection and analysis limits the comparison to informal caregivers of older adults, and the paper reports group differences rather than establishing that caregiver burden caused them. The Commentary also cautions against generalising the findings beyond this population. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
