 The present study investigated relationships between intellectual levels and psycho-social factors by comparing different types of dementia. The intellectual levels were evaluated by using the N-type dementia scale. A total of 595 patients who visited the Center for Elderly Dementia in Hiroshima City Hospital were assigned to three groups : dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) group, vascular dementia (VD) group, and control group.

 In the DAT group, those with low education, those living with children, and those having no role in the family showed a decreased intellectual level. In the VD group, those having no role in the family showed a decreased intellectual level. In the control group, the intellectual level decreased as a function of age. These findings suggested that higher education at a younger age, living alone, and having a role in the family are the most important factors to maintain the intellectual level.
