Mean (SD) demographic features of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal degeneration

Age (y)Education (y)Duration (months)MMSE
(30 point scale)
Alzheimer’s72.84 (8.45)13.79 (3.86)22.47 (16.84)19.79 (6.97)
Frontotemporal70.13 (10.42)14.62 (3.16)24.87 (24.43)22.06 (6.96)
  • Analyses of variance showed that the patient groups did not differ in age (F(1,33)=0.73; NS), education (F(1,33)=0.48; NS), disease duration (F(1,33)=0.12; NS), or overall dementia severity according to the MMSE (F(1,33)=0.92; NS).
