- The unexpected higher occurrence of dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease could lead to new research avenues and improve patient management.
Article Abstract
This observational study reports on the cause of memory loss in 500 consecutive patients. It confirms the previously reported finding in a smaller sample of 100 patients. There have been several publications suggesting that the prevalence of dementia is lower in certain communities but the reason is not known. This study was conducted to see if it could explain the variation between communities. Also, the observation that dementia with Lewy bodies (24.4%) outnumbers cases of Alzheimer's disease (5.8%) has not been reported by any other investigators and needs to be verified. This finding could open a new topic of research and also help in the management of patients.
