Dexterity and Bimanual Coordination, Cognitive Function, and Mental and Cognitive Well-Being in People with Young Onset Dementia: A Case-Control Study

This study highlights differences in dexterity and bimanual coordination, quality of life, and self-efficacy between people with young onset dementia and controls. People with young onset dementia exhibited poorer dexterity, generic health-related quality of life analogue, and self-efficacy. The study highlights the potential impacts of young onset dementia on dexterity, health-related quality of life, and self-efficacy. More longitudinal research is needed to assess the time course of this impact and explore support strategies.
