背景/目的：描述法国实际队列中687名阿尔茨海默病(AD)社区居住患者的基本日常生活能力(BADL)丧失的特征。方法：AD患者均为轻、中重度AD，平均年龄77.8岁。6个BADL的丢失模式在纳入时使用Lawton分级进行描述。结果：在6个二元Badl评分中，每个患者在纳入时都表现出一系列的损失。对于53%的女性来说，这些损失包括在彼此之间或完全相同，分别增加了身体行走、梳妆、洗澡、穿衣、厕所和进食方面的损失。对于47%的男性来说，发现了类似的序列，其次是脱掉衣服。87%的女性和86%的男性的减肥率在全球范围内保持一致。Lawton量表对AD患者的评估非常有用。版权所有(C)2010 S.Karger AG，巴塞尔
Background/Aims: To characterize loss of basic activities of daily living (BADL) in 687 Alzheimer's disease (AD) community-dwelling patients included in the French REAL cohort. Methods: Patients had mild to moderately severe AD, and the mean age was 77.8 years. Patterns of loss of the 6 BADL were described at inclusion using the Lawton scale. Results: With 6 binary BADL scores, each patient presented at inclusion a set of losses. For 53% of women, the sets of losses were included within each other or were identical, adding losses in physical ambulation, grooming, bathing, dressing, toilet and feeding, respectively. For 47% of men, a similar sequence was identified, with loss of dressing occurring secondly. A global cohesion of sets of losses was found for 87% of women and 86% of men. The Lawton scale is very useful for the assessment of AD patients. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel
