6. Canadian Study of Health and Aging The Progression of Dementia Primitive reflexes return as dementia progresses; they show a logarithmic association with declining 3MS scores (Hogan & Ebly, 1995)Primitive reflexes return as dementia progresses; they show a logarithmic association with declining 3MS scores (Hogan & Ebly, 1995) Mortality among people with probable AD is 2.5 times higher than among non-demented people (Hogan et al., 1994)Mortality among people with probable AD is 2.5 times higher than among non-demented people (Hogan et al., 1994) There are physiologic changes as dementia progresses; these are similar for AD and vascular dementia (Hogan et al., 1996)There are physiologic changes as dementia progresses; these are similar for AD and vascular dementia (Hogan et al., 1996) The rate of functional decline rises with the severity of dementia (Mitnitski et al., 1999)The rate of functional decline rises with the severity of dementia (Mitnitski et al., 1999)
