Neuropsychiatric symptoms and depression across cognitively‐defined AD subgroups at the time of AD diagnosis: data from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC)
Composite scores for depressive and neuropsychiatric symptoms facilitate well-powered investigations of relationships with these clinically salient factors. Neuropsychiatric symptoms had trivial correlations with cognitive domain scores at AD dementia diagnosis, and did not differ across groups defined by substantial relative cognitive impairments. Depressive symptoms were weakly correlated with cognitive domain scores, and differed across groups defined by substantial relative cognitive impairments. More research is warranted to further characterize depression and neuropsychiatric symptoms over the course of AD dementia.
