Everyday Functioning in a Community-Based Volunteer Population: Differences Between Participant- and Study Partner-Report.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Impaired awareness in dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders made study partner-report the preferred method of measuring interference in "instrumental activities of daily living" (IADL). However, with a shifting focus toward earlier disease stages and prevention, the question arises whether self-report might be equally or even more appropriate.

Methods: Participants (N = 3,288; 18-97 years, 70.4% females) and their study partners (N = 1,213; 18-88 years, 45.8% females) were recruited from
