Abstract
State-of-the-art literature has been enhancing the significance of personality phenomena in Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). This study seeks to identify the relationships of current and premorbid traits and abnormal dimensions in AD. Five-factor model and axis II personality disorders are taken as references. This research was conducted with two groups, which were assessed using the NEO-FFI and PDQ-4+ in individual interview sessions. Current personality measure: AD Group (n = 44 female participants); premorbid personality measure: AD group informants (n = 40 related participants). Findings suggest that in terms of both premorbidity and current studies, the relevance of the dimensions neuroticism (high) and conscientiousness (low), are the most common explanations found in the personality disorder scales, DSM clusters, Appendix B and the global personality disorder index. These data are relevant for the assessment of personality phenomena in Alzheimer’s disease.
