“…The AD group sample (Table 1 ) was mainly collected (± 69%) at a Psychiatric Hospital Center (Psychiatry and Neurology Outpatients) and (±31%) at geriatric centers (Henriques‐Calado et al., 2017 , 2018 ). Inclusion criteria were as follows: female; 65 years or above; clinical diagnosis of AD (onset); absence of psychiatric or neurological co‐morbidity; with intelligibility and understanding capacities and a minimally stable emotional state to collaborate in psychological evaluation tasks and interpersonal relations.…”

“…It should be noted that no biomarkers for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease were used. Application of the protocol was conducted in two face‐to‐face individual sessions, by a psychologist trained for such purpose, corresponding to a total period of approximately 2 h (Henriques‐Calado et al., 2017 , 2018 ).…”

“…Novel findings have been enhancing the understanding of the simultaneous association between personality traits and cognitive status and death, as well as cognitive health span and longevity (Yoneda et al., 2022 ). Personality changes in AD have been highlighted in the literature and may be a potential early clinical indicator (Duberstein et al., 2010 ; Duchek et al., 2007 ; Henriques‐Calado et al., 2016 , 2017 , 2018 ; Pocnet et al., 2011 , 2013 , 2012 ; von Gunten et al., 2009 ; Wahlin & Byrne, 2011 ). Some researchers suggest that the pre‐morbid characteristics of personality may represent a risk factor for AD, and thus, pre‐morbid personality should differ between patients and controls (Balsis et al., 2005 ; Duberstein et al., 2010 ; von Gunten et al., 2009 ).…”

Background The relationships between axis II personality disorders and the normative personality traits were explored in the context of current and pre‐morbid personality assessment in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods The study was conducted with four groups who were administered the NEO‐FFI and the PDQ‐4+, in the form of individual interview sessions. Current personality measure: consisting of 44 female participants (AD group) and, the control group, consisting of 80 female participants from the population at large. Pre‐morbid personality measure: AD group informants ( n = 40); control group informants ( n = 42). Results The results are in line with the literature review and provide new research data. By factorial discriminant analysis, the current and pre‐morbid personality variables that differentiate AD from control groups are identified. The personality traits variables are the best discriminators such as low agreeableness, low openness to experience, and high neuroticism, suggesting that the maladaptive personality functioning can be described extending the range of psychopathology to a dimensional approach. Conclusions The study of personality variables seems to suggest, in their inclusion, the possibility to increase sensitivity toward an assessment in AD.

“…The advances in knowledge about the association between personality and neuropathology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highlighted in the literature [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. In turn, personality changes in AD have been documented in the literature and may be a useful early clinical marker [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

The advances in knowledge about the association between personality and neuropathology in Alzheimer’s disease have been highlighted. This research is oriented to the evaluation of personality changes in the screening of axis II personality disorders in Alzheimer’s disease. The investigation was managed with four groups to whom were applied the PDQ-4+ in individual interviews. Some results are in line with the state-of-the-art review and we also provide new research data. A higher global personality disorder index and greater incidence of clusters C (anxious) and A (odd/eccentric) are confirmed as personality changes. Interpretive possibilities of the data and their implications for the study of psychopathology changes in Alzheimer’s disease are discussed.
