Prevalence of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment
JAMA 288:1475-1483, Lyketsos,C.G.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neuropsychiatric symptoms occur in the majority of persons with dementia over the course of the disease. These are the first population-based estimates for neuropsychiatric symptoms in MCI, indicating a high prevalence associated with this condition as well. These symptoms have serious adverse consequences and should be inquired about and treated as necessary. Study of neuropsychiatric symptoms in the context of dementia may improve our understanding of brain-behavior relationships.
