Everyday cognition scales are related to cognitive function in the early stage of probable Alzheimer’s disease and FDG-PET findings

Abstract We applied the Everyday Cognition (ECog) scale in normal aging adults and patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to investigate associations between neuropsychological tests and neuroimaging markers. A total of 160 normal aging adults and 40 patients with the early stage of probable AD were...
