Early-onset dementia.
Objective To compare mortality risks of patients with early-and late-onset dementia with non-demented controls of the same age range, and to analyse mortality risks in subtypes of dementia. Methods We included 1203 subjects from our memory clinic. Patients with dementia were subdivided into two groups, with early (< 65 years) or late-onset dementia (≥ 65 years), and compared with non-demented c...
