The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic profiles of patients with early (age <65 years) and late (age ≥65 years) onset of dementia in a memory disorders clinic in Japan. A total of 512 consecutive memory clinic patients were evaluated using clinical information and results of examinations. Diagnosis of dementia was made according to DSM‐III‐R, and that of subtypes according to standard diagnostic criteria. A total of 464 patients met the criteria for dementia. Amongst late‐onset patients (n = 430), Alzheimer's disease (AD) (48.1%) was the most frequent cause of dementia, followed by AD with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) (31.4%), vascular dementia (VaD) (9.1%), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (3.7%), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) (1.6%), and others (5.8%). On the contrary, amongst early onset patients (n = 34), the most common dementia diagnosis was AD (38.2%), followed by VaD (23.5%), FTLD (14.7%), AD with CVD (5.9%), DLB (2.9%), and others (17.6%). FTLD and VaD were significantly more common in the early onset group. All patients, but one, with DLB and Parkinson's disease dementia were late‐onset. The relative frequencies of AD, VaD, and DLB in our series are consistent with epidemiologic findings in several Western countries; however, the frequency of FTLD is not consistent with the previous findings presenting high frequency in late‐onset patients in some Western countries.
