Senile and arteriosclerotic dementia: a study of personal, social and family data.
40 patients with senile dementia, 40 with arteriosclerotic dementia, and 40 people attending an elderly citizens' club have been compared with respect to certain social and personal data. The senile dementia group showed significant tendencies to positive family history, unusual personality characteristics and greater duration of widowhood.
