Summary

The primary objective of AID study is to identify the medico-neuropsychological, socio-economic and environmental baseline characteristics of dyads associated with the institutionalization of AD patients.

Detailed description

In order to reduce Alzheimer Disease (AD) adverse impacts at individual level as well as in terms of expenditures, the development of efficient strategies based on the identification and the correction of risk factors of institutionalization of AD patients proves necessary. While it has been identified that institutionalization date depends on patients' health characteristics, the role of social, economic and environmental factors still remains few known. The investigators hypothesized that institutionalization of AD patients could be related not only to medico-neuropsychological patients' characteristics but also to socio-economic and environmental characteristics of dyad (i.e., AD patient and spouse carer), that could modify the delay of institutionalization.
