Description
Catherine Alexander and co-authors study, in 2023, how people with dementia and their partners differ in judging daily difficulties. The gap between self-ratings and partner ratings is often used to gauge awareness of the condition. Data came from a large cohort of more than one thousand pairs living at home with mild to moderate dementia.
Partners usually reported more difficulties than the person with dementia did. Partner ratings tracked daily function and behavior symptoms more than memory test scores. A bigger gap linked to more partner stress and to older age in the person with dementia. The findings show awareness is shaped by the pair, not the patient alone.
