| Research Abstract |
This study investigated the relationship among Alzheimer dementia (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB,) and the result of cognitive function tests. Since the number of participating patients varied, this study treated AD group as the standard for comparisons. The result indicated no significant difference between AD and VaD groups. On the other hand, significant difference was observed between AD-DLB comparison and AD-FTD comparison in the lower-order items in COGNISTAT. From this result, we can conclude that the result of the lower-order items in cognitive function tests reflects the characteristics of each of the dementia.
