The neurological problems in elderly patients are dominated by cerebral vascular accidents and dementias. The incidence and the prevalence of cerebral vascular accidents has greatly decreased following measures of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The problem raised by dementias is one of a positive diagnosis (presently according to DSM III criteria) and mostly the problem of the differential diagnosis, i.e. the diagnosis of curable dementias or "false dementias".
老年患者的神经问题以脑血管意外和痴呆症为主。经过一级、二级和三级预防措施，脑血管意外的发病率和患病率已大幅下降。痴呆症引发的问题一是阳性诊断（目前根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版标准），且主要是鉴别诊断问题，即可治愈的痴呆症或“假性痴呆症”的诊断。
