In a general population aged 75 years and older, the prevalence of a disorder fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of DLB is half that of Alzheimer’s disease and the same as for vascular dementia.
PainThe impact of dementia on the pain experience

The influence of dementia on the experience of pain has received little attention and many questions remain unanswered, so a review draws upon this literature to describe current knowledge of the area.

Research reveals that a moderate decrease in pain occurs in cognitively impaired elderly persons, and communicative dementia patients' reports of pain tend to be as valid as those of cognitively intact patients, and assessment scales developed thus far for noncommunicative patients require improvement in accuracy and facility.

It is indicated that pain perception in response to an acute heat pain stimulus is not diminished in older persons with cognitive impairment, and a longer latency of the CERP may suggest slower cortical processing of nociceptive input by persons with Alzheimer's disease.

The hypothesis that AD is characterized by an alteration in pain experience is supported, i.e. compared to elderly persons without dementia, AD patients appear to perceive less pain intensity and pain affect.

The use of psychotropics in the home‐dwelling elderly aged 75 years or older in Finland was described, and the probability of psychotropic use increased linearly with age for anxiolytics/hypnotics or antipsychotics, but not for antidepressants.
