Executive dysfunction and behavioral symptoms are associated with deficits in instrumental activities of daily living in frontotemporal dementia

摘要

BackgroundDeficits in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) may be more prominent in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) than in non-fluent/agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA) or semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA). It is uncertain if FTD subgroups exhibit different patterns and/or predictors of functional impairment.
