Aims: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease need assistance and supervision of their daily activities. They survive for protracted periods of time, placing an extensive burden of care on the caregiver prior to the patient’s death. The present study addressed the predictive value of behavior-related burden on Alzheimer’s disease caregivers.
Keywords: caregivers, caregiver burden, Alzheimer’s, behavior, neuropsychiatric
