   Proposal Description:
   Recent studies have investigated potential factors associated with the rate of cognitive decline in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease. However, the measure or measures used to describe cognitive decline vary greatly in the research literature. The main focus of this analysis is to compare the rates of cognitive decline estimated from several common measures of cognition. The relationship between cognitive decline and various potential correlates will also be compared across the different measures of cognition.
