Healio (12/12) reports, “People with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia” (bvFTD) “were more likely to exhibit apathy and functional decline, even in the mildest stage of dementia, compared with patients with Alzheimer’s disease,” researchers concluded in a study that “included 866 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of bvFTD at baseline who were enrolled in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set…between 2005 and 2019 and had one or more annual follow-ups.” The findings were published online in a research letter in JAMA Network Open.
