The Role of Alzheimer's and Cerebrovascular Pathology in Mediating the Effects of Age, Race, and Apolipoprotein E Genotype on Dementia Severity in Pathologically-Confirmed Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dementia severity can be modeled as the construct δ, representing the "cognitive correlates of functional status." OBJECTIVE: We recently validated a model for estimating δ in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's Uniform Data Set; however, the association of δ with neuropathology remains untested. METHODS: We used data from 727 decedents evaluated at Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Centers...
