Abstract
The Dementia Rating Scale, previously shown to be sensitive to dementi a progression, was used to differentiate among normal control subjects , patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and those judged to be at ri sk for AD on the basis of subclinical memory impairment. The memory sc ale of the Dementia Rating Scale predicted with 93% accuracy which at- risk individuals would develop AD at 4- to 6-year follow-up.
