| editor note |
I think this is incorrect. First it should be defined wrt its parent. I don't think the parent of "dementia syndrome" will turn out to be "MCI syndrome". Admittedly that will depend on the specifics to the aggreed upon definitions. Currently they are both in need or refinement. Second, the definition is too Alzheimer-centric, and I believe would rule out other instances of dementia. Dementia does not typically result from a "dementia disease". Even if true, whatever “typical” means, that assertion is informative, not explanatory — i.e., it belongs in an elucidation not the definition. Mark Jensen |
