Does health-related quality of life in Asian informal caregivers differ between early-onset dementia and late-onset dementia?

Caregivers of EOD patients had worse mental health than LOD caregivers probably because individual with EOD have more behavioural disturbances. This reinforces the indispensable role of managing behavioural problems when caring for a family member with dementia, especially for EOD. HRQOL ideally needs to be assessed based on self-report rather than inferences from indirect data such as the subjective caregiver burden.
