Never abusers had significantly higher NPI-Q scores and more items endorsed than remote abusers for each CDR stage, except CDR1⁄43 which had a small N(Never Abusers N1⁄41040 vs. Any Abuse N1⁄474). CDR-SB did not differ significantly between Never Abusers and those with history of abuse. Conclusions: Our results associate alcohol abuse with increased and more severe NPI-Q behavioral symptoms. Remote abusers exhibit more symptoms than never-abusers, supporting the hypothesis that alcohol abuse is associated with long-lasting behavioral symptoms. However, Alcohol abuse history does not appear to change functional socres based on CDR-SB. The NACC database is funded by NIA/NIH Grant U01 AG016976.
