Conclusion: As expected, individuals progressing to AD showed a greater decline in their functional abilities; however, the DAD total score at entry did not predict progression to AD. We anticipate that an evaluation of higher social functioning is likely required to detect the earliest significant changes in function that may herald or predict progression to AD.
