Predicting Cognitive and Functional Trajectories in People With Late-Onset Dementia: 2 Population-Based Studies

摘要

Objectives: Previous studies have shown large heterogeneity in the progression of dementia, both within and between patients. This heterogeneity offers an opportunity to limit the global and individual burden of dementia through the identification of factors associated with slow disease progression in dementia. We explored the heterogeneity in dementia progression to detect disease, patient, and social context factors related to slow progression.
