Dementia is an acquired syndrome of decline in memory and at least one other cognitive
domain (language, visuospatial or executive function).
Symptoms:
Subtle behavioral changes
• Difficulty taking medications properly
• Problems attending to household chores or paying bills
• Loss of interest in usual activities
• Behave strangely after surgery or an acute illness
Cognitive Decline:
Age related cognitive decline presents with mild forgetfulness, difficulty remembering names
and mildly reduced concentration. The presenting symptoms are sporadic and do affect function
Cognitive Impairment:
Mild cognitive impairment is the memory impairment without cognitive deficits or functional
decline. There is a higher frequency for progression to Alzheimer’s Disease for those
patients suffering from cognitive impairment
Alzheimer’s Disease presents as normal alertness but progressive global deterioration of
cognitive abilities in multiple domains.
Major issues are:
- Short-term memory, but sparing remote events
- Subtle language errors
- Visuospatial perceptual difficulties
- Changes in executive function
- Ability to perform sequential tasks such as ADLs
