Long-term cognitive outcome of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies: dual disease is worse
Abstract
Longitudinal studies of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are rare. Clinically, DLB is usually considered to worsen into Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of our study was to compare the rate of the cognitive decline in DLB, AD, and the association of the two diseases (AD + DLB).
