Caregiving for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) can negatively impact caregivers' health and well-being. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to describe the characteristics of ADRD caregivers in the Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 dataset, and to compare caregiving activities, including activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental ADLs (IADLs), and health care–related tasks between ADRD caregivers and non-ADRD caregivers. This study included 410 ADRD caregivers and 921 non-ADRD caregivers. ADRD caregivers reported higher levels of burden; a greater number of ADLs and IADLs performed for care recipients; higher emotional, physical, and financial strain; and more difficulty in taking care of their own health than non-ADRD caregivers. ADRD caregivers reported a greater level of lack of support from health care professionals and unmet needs for knowledge and resources for caregiving than non-ADRD caregivers. Developing a comprehensive ADRD care model and health policies is warranted to provide easier access to health care and community resources for caregivers' health and well-being.

照顾患有阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症 (ADRD) 的人会对照顾者的健康和福祉产生负面影响。本次分析的目的是在美国 2020 年数据集中描述 ADRD 护理人员的特征，并比较护理活动，包括日常生活活动 (ADL)、工具性 ADL (IADL) 和医疗保健相关任务ADRD 照顾者和非 ADRD 照顾者之间的关系。这项研究包括 410 名 ADRD 照顾者和 921 名非 ADRD 照顾者。ADRD 护理人员报告了更高水平的负担；为护理对象执行更多的 ADL 和 IADL；更高的情绪、身体和经济压力；并且比非 ADRD 看护者更难照顾自己的健康。ADRD 护理人员报告说，与非 ADRD 护理人员相比，医疗保健专业人员的支持和护理知识和资源的需求未得到满足。有必要制定全面的 ADRD 护理模式和健康政策，以便为护理人员的健康和福祉提供更容易获得医疗保健和社区资源的机会。[老年护理杂志，48（9），15-25。]
