Abstract
subjects, 28 with MCI and 24 with dementia (17 mild), aged 82.2 5.0 years, 56% female and with educational level of 2.9 2.4 years. No correlation was found between apathy scores and any global or executive cognitive measure. This finding were observed in the whole sample and where replicated in the MCI, mildly demented and demented sub-samples. Apathy scores inversely correlated with DAD scores in the demented subjects (r -0.698; p 0.0011). Conclusions: In this community based sample of low-literacy cognitively impaired oldest old elderly, no correlation was found between executive measures and apathy scores. However, higher apathy scores correlated with worse functional performance in the demented patients.
