Extract

Alzheimer's disease and other dementing disorders have been reported in most ethnic groups living in the United States. Although the presence of these disorders in different U.S. ethnic groups is well documented, the characteristics of dementing disorders, such as the presence of behavioral disturbances, in these groups remains unexplored.
