in the total severity score of neuropsychiatric and depressive symptoms assessed through the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnarie (NPI-Q) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), using repeated measures ANOVA with the within-subject NPI-Q and GDS scores as dependent variables, and Group (the four groups) and Evaluation (baseline and follow-up) as factors. Results: We found significant effects for Group and interaction Group*Evaluation in the neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI-Q). The group mdaMCI showed higher neuropsychiatric symptoms than the other groups at baseline and an increase at the follow-up. In depressive symptoms (GDS) only significant main effects for Group and Evaluation were found. The mda-MCI and mdna-MCI groups displayed more depressive symptoms than the Healthy Controls. For all groups there was a slight increase at the follow-up. Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric and depressive symptoms are more common in patients with mda-MCI subtype, and in these patients increase significantly at relatively short follow-up evaluations. Further longitudinal research is necessary to determine the trajectory of that change and the predictive role of these symptoms on the conversion to Alzheimer Disease.
