Does the correlation between informant ratings of function and cognitive assessment scores differ based on informant gender?
These results did not support the hypothesis that participants with female study partners would show a stronger correlation between informant ratings of cognitive function and cognitive assessment scores. Future work will: 1) use qualitative analysis to investigate potential gender differences in informant reporting and 2) examine additional informant-related factors that may impact the relationship between informant ratings and neuropsychological testing such as informant level of education, culture, and family history and/or experience with dementia.
