Prevalence of dementia over age 100

René Thomassen, MD, Henri W. van Schaick, MD and Ben A. Blansjaar, MD, PhD

From St. Joris Gasthuis, Delft, The Netherlands.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Ben A. Blansjaar, St. Joris Gasthuis, P.O. Box 5016, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands.

All nine persons aged 100 or older in a Dutch town with some 100,000 inhabitants were examined by means of cognitive tests, informant questionnaires, and clinical interviews. Formal testing was difficult in most subjects because of visual, auditory, and motor handicaps. By combining the results of cognitive tests and clinical examinations, a diagnosis of moderate to severe dementia could be made in eight subjects. One subject was not examined but by informant questionnaire was found to be mildly demented.

Received March 11, 1997. Accepted in final form April 28, 1997.
