Abstract
Fifty-three patients affected by Alzheimer's disease entered a longitu dinal survey aimed at studying which factors influence the rate of pro gression, assessed by means of the MODA (Milan Overall Dementia Assess ment). The second examination was carried out, on average, after 16 mo nths from the first assessment. Only age proved to influence the decli ne rate, which was faster in elders.
