摘要：
The demographic characteristics of 242 clinic outpatients evaluated for dementia were examined. Each individual received a comprehensive assessment of medical status, psychological functioning, and social abilities. Diagnoses were arrived at by consensus, and appropriate treatment plans and follow-up recommendations were generated, with comprehensive feedback provided to family members and other caregivers. The results of this study help increase our knowledge of the characteristics of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, multi-infarct dementia, or other related disorders. © 1990 The Gerontological Society of America.
