The authors used the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and a rating of depressed mood to investigate the prevalence of depression in 55 patients with Alzheimer's disease, 37 patients with multi-infarct dementia, and 30 nondemented comparison subjects. The prevalence of depressed mood depended on the severity of dementia as measured by the Mini-Mental State examination and was significantly lower among patients in more severe stages of Alzheimer's disease but not among patients with severe multi-infarct dementia.
作者使用汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表和抑郁情绪评分，对55例阿尔茨海默病患者、37例多发梗死性痴呆患者以及30名非痴呆对照者的抑郁患病率进行了调查。抑郁情绪的患病率取决于通过简易精神状态检查所测得的痴呆严重程度，在阿尔茨海默病更严重阶段的患者中显著较低，但在严重多发梗死性痴呆患者中并非如此。
