The purpose of this study was to characterize and compare neuropsychiatric symptoms in a sample of 367 community-dwelling subjects: 70 Hispanics and 230 non-Hispanic white patients with Alzheimer's disease, and 22 Hispanics and 45 non-Hispanic white healthy age-matched controls. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were common among all patients with Alzheimer's disease. In the Alzheimer's disease groups, Hispanic subjects presented to the initial assessment with more symptoms than non-Hispanic white subjects did. In comparison to the non-Hispanic white population, the proportion of Hispanics with neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms was higher. These findings have implications for differential sociocultural presentations of Alzheimer's disease among ethnic/racial groups.

:这项研究的目的是在367名社区居民受试者的样本中表征和比较神经精神症状:70名西班牙裔美国人和230名患有阿尔茨海默氏病的非西班牙裔白人患者,以及22名西班牙裔和45名非西班牙裔白人健康的年龄匹配对照。神经精神症状在所有阿尔茨海默氏病患者中都很常见。在阿尔茨海默氏病组中,西班牙裔受试者比非西班牙裔白人受试者表现出更多的症状。与非西班牙裔白人相比,具有神经精神病学和行为症状的西班牙裔比例更高。这些发现对不同种族/种族的老年痴呆症的社会文化表现形式有所不同。
