Accuracy of clinical criteria for AD in the Honolulu–Asia Aging Study, a population-based study

Abstract

Neuropathologic confirmation and NP density among decedents with clinical AD in this population-based study were lower than reported by referral centers and similar to reports from two other community studies. Ethnic differences in propensity for amyloid deposition as well as differences in clinical severity and representativeness of cases might contribute to these findings.
