Abstract

To assess the mental behavior of patients with senile dementia. Methods: A stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used to identify the subjects. The screening and clinical diagnosis was performed. The screening phase was carried out by the Simple Mental State Scale (MMSE) and the Daily Living Ability Scale (ADL) test. The clinical diagnostic phase was assessed on the basis of history, clinical physical examination, and neuropsychological tests, using DSM-IV and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria. Neuropsychiatric questionnaires (NPI) were used to evaluate the mental behavior symptoms of AD patients in patients diagnosed with AD. Results: (1) A total of 83.91% of patients with senile dementia experienced varying degrees of mental and behavioral symptoms in the past month. The most common symptoms were anxiety (54.02%) and sleep / nocturnal behavior (52.87%). 4.60%) and emotional high / euphoric (5.75%), the other mental behavior symptoms have a higher incidence. (2) This study shows that awareness of dementia and attendance rate (less than 5%) are relatively low. Conclusion: (1) The incidence of mental and behavioral symptoms in patients with senile dementia (AD) should be high attention (2) The awareness rate and attendance rate of senile dementia (AD) should be improved, and early intervention of prevention and disease should be done The
