this needs to be taken into account when communicating prognosis in clinical care. As persons with dementia change in many more ways during their patient journey, heterogeneous disease progressions are the result of disease and patient characteristics. Prognostic models would benefit from including variables across a number of domains. International coordination of replication and standardization of the research approach is recommended. patients. This study used longitudinal data from PWD from NACC to study the predictors of multidimensional progression of dementia. Studying multiple outcomes simulta- neously (in this case cognition and daily functioning) sets out this study from most other studies in the field. Also showing the impact of sociodemographic char- acteristics is both fairly unique and important. This study used longitudinal data from PWD from NACC to show that growth classes identified earlier could be partially replicated. Although an important technique to understand heterogeneity in disease course, the data-driven nature of GMM urges for replication studies. The study replicated the underappreciated finding that the majority of PWD showed a decline slower than typically reported for the average decline.
