745 (86%) had complete data with non-missing scores for all cognitive domains. Of these, 517 (69%) had a typical cognitive profile, while 228 (31%) had an atypical cognitive profile (see Table 1). These proportions were essentially identical for thosewith probable and those with possible AD. There were 209 people with non-AD dementias. Of these, 94 (45%) had vascular dementia; other dementia etiologies are shown in Table 2. Conclusions:Clinical AD with a typical pattern of cognitive deficits is the most common form of incident dementia in the community. Clinical AD with an atypical pattern of cognitive deficits is more common than non-AD dementia.
