Abstract: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are important clinical manifestations of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), which may occur at the early stage or throughout the entire course of dementia. They can predict the progression of dementia and serve as the major causes for long-term hospitalization and reduction in caregiver's life quality. Current studies on gender difference of AD are only limited to the epidemiological aspect, but rarely on the clinical and neuropathology aspect.
