Alzheimer's disease may be classified according to severity into mild, moderate and severe dementia. It may also be classified based on age of onset into early onset and late onset Alzheimer's disease. Another method of classification of Alzheimer's disease is based on the course of disease into pre-dementia, early dementia, moderate dementia and advanced dementia. | Alzheimer's disease may be classified according to severity into mild, moderate and severe [[dementia]]. It may also be classified based on age of onset into early onset and late onset Alzheimer's disease. Another method of classification of Alzheimer's disease is based on the course of [[disease]] into pre-[[dementia]], early [[dementia]], moderate [[dementia]] and advanced [[dementia]]. | ||

Overview
Alzheimer's disease may be classified according to severity into mild, moderate and severe dementia. It may also be classified based on age of onset into early onset and late onset Alzheimer's disease. Another method of classification of Alzheimer's disease is based on the course of disease into pre-dementia, early dementia, moderate dementia and advanced dementia.
Classification
Classification based on severity
Alzheimer's disease may be classified based on the clinical dementia rating criteria into minimal, intermediate, mild, moderate and severe:[1][2][3][4][5]
| Clinical Dementia Rating | |||||
| Based on the severity of Impairment | |||||
| Criteria | Minimal | Indeterminate | Mild | Moderate | Severe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Memory | No memory loss or slight forgetfulness | Minimal forgetfulness; partial recollection of events; “benign” forgetfulness | Moderate memory loss; more marked for recent events; defect interferes with everyday activities | Severe memory loss; only highly learned material retained; new material rapidly lost | Severe memory loss; only fragments remain |
| Orientation | Fully oriented | Fully oriented except for slight difficulty with time perception | Moderate difficulty with time perception; oriented for place at examination; may be disoriented to place | Severe difficulty with time relationships; usually disoriented to time, often to place | Oriented to person only |
| Judgment and problem solving | Able to handle daily life activities (including financial issues); judgment good in relation to past performance | Mild impairment in solving problems, determining similarities and differences | Moderate difficulty in solving problems, difficulty in distinguishing things; social judgment usually maintained | Severely impaired in solving problems, determining similarities and differences; social judgment usually impaired | Unable to make judgments or solve problems |
| Social functioning | Functions independently and performs daily tasks such as shopping, and volunteer and social groups | Slight impairment in performing social activities | Unable to perform social activities, although may still be engaged in some; appears normal on casual observation | No pretense of independent function outside of home; appears well enough to be taken to functions outside a family home | No pretense of independent function outside of home; appears too ill to be taken to functions outside a family home |
| Home and hobbies | Able to carry out daily life activities, hobbies, and intellectual interests well maintained | Daily life tasks, hobbies, and intellect slightly impaired | Mild but definite impairment of function in performing daily life tasks; more difficult chores abandoned; more complicated hobbies and interests abandoned | Only simple chores preserved; interests very restricted and poorly maintained | No significant function in home |
| Personal care | Able to take care of self | Fully functional | Needs reminders | Requires assistance in dressing, hygiene, keeping of personal effects | Requires much help with personal care; frequent incontinence |
Classification based on age of onset
Alzheimer's disease may be classified into early onset and late onset based on age of onset:[6][7][8][9][10]
| Sub-class | Genetics | Prevalence |
|---|---|---|
| Late-onset familial (>60 years, AD2) | 15%-25% of familial cases | |
| Early-onset familial AD (<60 years, AD1, AD3, AD4) |
|
<2% of familial cases |
Classification based on course of disease
Alzheimer's disease may be classified into the following stages based on course of disease:[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][19][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]
| Stage of Alzheime's disease | Major deficits |
|---|---|
| Predementia |
|
| Early dementia |
|
| Moderate dementia |
|
| Advanced dementia |
