The Psychosocial Impact of Young Onset Dementia on Spouses
Abstract
Dementia in young adults is not very well studied in terms of clinical effects on the patient, and not much is known about the effects on spouses and caregivers. This study assessed the psychological impact of the diagnosis of young onset dementia on spouses. A questionnaire that used the Zarit Burden Interview and the Beck Depression Index was sent to 120 spouses of a cohort of patients with established diagnoses of young onset dementia (age of onset before 65 years), including frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, and primary progressive aphasia. A total of 100 usable responses were received. The mean age of respondents was 62.3 years (54% women, 46% men). A cross-sectional analysis showed that the diagnosis of young onset dementia has a significant impact on spouses, characterized by concerns of dependency, fear, and increased depression, especially in the spouses of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
