The neuropsychological profiles of mild Alzheimer's disease and questionable dementia as compared to age-related cognitive decline

Abstract: Test scores from a comprehensive neuropsychological battery administered to 1602 subjects consisting of 1347 subjects with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD), 100 subjects with questionable dementia (QD) and 155 non-demented elderly control subjects were cross-sectionally analyzed. Subjects with probable AD were categorized as mild (n = 244), moderate (n = 480), severe (n = 376), and very severe (n = 247) according to modified mini mental status exam (mMMSE) scores. Mean scores on individual neuropsychological … Show more

“…Neuropsychological studies demonstrate that in addition to memory, cognitive tasks particularly sensitive to early AD include category fl uency and executive functioning [19][20][21][22][23] . Other studies of patients with questionable dementia also reported diminished category fl uency [24] . Our fi ndings of fl uency and executive defi cits in MCI are consistent with the view that amnestic MCI frequently represents a prodrome of AD.…”
