A preliminary report Jefferson Cunha Folquitto Rita de Cássia Gomes Marques Mariana Franciosi Tatsch Medicina caregiver burden Alzheimer’s disease neuropsychiatric symptoms cognitive impairment no dementia Neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver burden are highly prevalent in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objective: To evaluate the correlation between neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver burden in a community-based sample from São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: A total of 1,563 randomly-selected subjects were assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination, Fuld Object Memory Evaluation, Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly and Bayer – Activities of Daily Living Scale. Subjects considered screen-positives were submitted to a dementia workup and diagnosis was determined according to ICD-10 criteria. The neuropsychiatric Inventory was applied to caregivers to evaluate neuropsychiatric symptoms and the Zarit Burden Interview was also applied to assess caregivers’ burden. Results: Sixty-one AD patients, 25 Cognitively Impaired Non Demented (CIND) and 79 healthy elderly subjects were evaluated. Zarit mean scores for controls, CIND and AD were 2.32, 3.92 and 20.11, respectively. There was strong positive correlation between total NPI and Zarit scores. Conclusion: In conclusion, neuropsychiatric symptoms showed a significant association with higher rates of caregiver stress. 2013 artículo científico 1980-5764 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339529044005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3395 Dementia & Neuropsychologia application/pdf Associação Neurologia Cognitiva e do Comportamento Dementia & Neuropsychologia (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.7 |
