Fast cognitive decline at the time of dementia diagnosis: a major prognostic factor for survival in the community.

abstract：:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally understood as primarily affecting cognition while sparing motor function, at least until the later stages of the disease. Studies reported over the past 10 years, however, have documented a prevalence of falls in AD patients significantly higher than in age-matched normal elders; ...
