The DAD-I score was not significantly associated with gender, education and presumed duration of the illness, and had a low negative correlation with age. The DAD-I score correlated moderately with the traditional Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and Activities of Daily Living scales, respectively, with r = 0.53 and r = 0.54 (p < 0.0001). Relatively low, but statistically significant correlations (r ranging between 0.21 and 0.31) with the MMSE were also found. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> The DAD-I was found to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess functional disability in community-dwelling Italian subjects with early-stage AD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000113415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,16]],"date-time":"2008-01-16T15:46:31Z","timestamp":1200498391000},"page":"186-194","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Functional Disability in Early Alzheimer\u2019s Disease \u2013 A Validation Study of the Italian Version of the Disability Assessment for Dementia Scale"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Luc Pieter","family":"De Vreese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Caffarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"Savar\u00e8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Cerutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Franceschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enzo","family":"Grossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Fjama.287.16.2090"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000048632"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056%2FNEJMra040223"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017%2FS1041610203008640"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fgeront%2F9.3_Part_1.179"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Fjama.1963.03060120024016"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fgps.1009"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchneur.61.4.556"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000110771"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5014%2Fajot.53.5.471"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000086612"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbmj.321.7274.1445"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2389.2003.51260.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fgps.1168"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00002093-200104000-00008"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.wad.0000157065.43282.bc"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037%2Fh0046016"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023%2FA%3A1015291021312"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs10072-007-0791-3"}],"container-title":["Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/113415","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/113415","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:48:17Z","timestamp":1745459297000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000113415"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000113415","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1420-8008","1421-9824"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1420-8008","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9824","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
