This study examines the connection between biological factors, social determinants, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and the estimations of financial capacity made by caregivers of mild AD patients in Greece. Financial capacity estimations negatively correlated with biological sex of the patients (female), but Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scores were statistically lower for older females. BPSD (measured with NPI) was found to negatively correlate with estimates of financial capacity. The existence of delusions-hallucinations was reported in all males. No correlations were found between financial capacity estimations, actual cognitive and financial capacity performance, and all other included biological and social characteristics of the patients as well as their caregivers.
本研究考察了希腊轻度阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者的生物学因素、社会决定因素与痴呆的行为和心理症状(BPSD)之间的联系,以及患者照料者对其财务能力的评估。财务能力评估与患者的生物学性别(女性)呈负相关,但老年女性的神经精神科问卷(NPI)得分在统计学上较低。研究发现,BPSD(用NPI衡量)与财务能力评估呈负相关。所有男性均报告存在妄想-幻觉。在财务能力评估、实际认知和财务能力表现与患者及其照料者的所有其他纳入的生物学和社会特征之间未发现相关性。
