givers would report a high level of caregiver burden. The model explained 50% of the variance in the high Zarit scores and correctly classified 83% of cases. In particular, caregivers for individuals with YOD were almost 3 times more likely to experience high levels of caregiver burden. Conclusions: Intervention programs with strategies that provide comprehensive support for caregivers of YOD should be a priority in the holistic management of dementia.
