Ann Int Med 113:429-434, Walsh,J.S.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Length of survival in patients with Alzheimer-type dementia is highly variable;severity of disease(not duration),the combination of wandering and falling,and behavioral problems are associated with shorter survival. Our findings,if confirmed,may provide prognostic information for families and professionals and suggest areas in which interventions to improve survival might be focused.
