[Young-Onset and Late-Onset Dementia Cases: A Comparison of Family Care Needs and Primary Caregiver Burden].
Significant differences in family care needs and primary caregiver burden were found between the young-onset and late-onset dementia groups, with the former associated with greater caregiving needs and burdens. Long-term care services should be extended to patients with dementia who do not have an officially recognized disability certificate and below the age of 50. These services should be tailored to meet individual needs, equip caregivers with essential caregiving skills, and provide targeted support.
