Younger adults had higher imply cognitive function score than older adults (p 0.039). When mean cognitive function scores had been compared amongst the age groups by decisionmaking capacity, there had been no considerable variations amongst persons with “always capable,” “sometimes capable,” and “incapable” categories of producing decisions. Correlation Amongst Communication Generating Capacities (Table 3) and Decision4.two were incapable. As communication capacity declined, so did decisionmaking capacity (r 0.499, p 0.00). BPSD and DecisionMaking Capacity (Table four) With regards to BPSD, 357 persons with dementia (79.eight ) had at least a single of 9 symptoms. Amongst those with decisional capacity, 02 (70.3 ) inside the “always capable” category and 55 (83.7 ) inside the “sometimes capable” category had BPSD. Among those with out decisional capacity, 00 (84.7 ) had BPSD. As they lost decisionmaking capacity, BPSD prevalence grew (p 0.002). Imply BPSD improved, as decisionmaking capacity declined: .94 (SD two.24) for “always capable”; two.35 (SD two.8) for “sometimes capable”; and four.26 (SD three.66) for “incapable.” Although persons with no decisional capacity within the 85 years and more than age category had AN3199 web additional symptoms (p 0.032), there have been no considerable differences amongst decisionmaking capacity and BPSD in the 6574 years and the 7584 years categories (p 0.75, p 0.22, respectively). Extra men and women with BPSD than those who wereOf the 448 persons with dementia, 35 (78.three ) had been normally capable of communicating, 69 (5.four ) have been often capable of communicating, and only 28 
(six.3 ) were incapable of communicating with other people. By combining “always capable” and “sometimes capable,” a majority of people with dementia had been classified as somewhat capable to communicate with other folks. Of people who had communication capacity, 40.five were generally capable of producing choices, 45.three have been at times capable of making decisions, andDecisionMaking and Communication Capacities of Older Adults with DementiaThe Open Nursing Journal, 204, VolumeTable 3.BPSD were incapable of producing choices.
