Aim:The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of apathy, and to compare vascular mild cognitive impairment (vMCI), amnestic MCI (amMCI), and other type using Clinical Assessment for Spontaneity (CAS).Methods:Agreement to take part in the study was obtained from 590 community dwellers, aged 75years living in Kurihara, Japan. Of the 590 subjects, 221 had a clinical dementia rating (CDR) of 0 (normal); 295 had CDR 0.5 (mild cognitive impairment; MCI); and 74 had CDR 1+ (dementia). The CDR 0.5 subjects were divided into three groups: 55 with vMCI (Erkinjuntti etal. criteria), 91 with amMCI and 149 with other type. To evaluate the various aspects of apathy, we used the three CAS subscales: clinical interview (CAS1), self-evaluation (CAS2), and caregiver assessment (CAS3). Three analyses were then performed to determine: (i) the validity of CAS; (ii) the prevalence rate of apathy in CDR 0 versus CDR 0.5 versus CDR 1+; and (iii) the prevalence rate of apathy in normal versus vMCI versus amMCI versus other type.Results:CAS was validated with the Apathy Evaluation Scale. There were significant differences among the three CDR groups in CAS1, CAS2 and CAS3 (P
