Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Dementia is a progressive condition marked by memory loss and cognitive deficits.
  • Key symptoms include agnosia, aphasia, dyscalculia, apraxia, and executive dysfunction.
  • Alzheimer disease is the leading cause, with vascular dementia and diffuse Lewy body disease as critical differential diagnoses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a diagnostic strategy for dementia.
  • To establish a diagnostic hierarchy for dementia assessment.
  • To discuss diagnostic criteria for major dementia subtypes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on dementia diagnosis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia, and diffuse Lewy body disease.
