Aims: The aims of this study were to compare quality of life (QOL) in people with young-onset Alzheimer’s (AD) and frontotemporal (FTD) dementia, explore variables associated with QOL, and compare QOL in young-onset dementia (YOD) and late-onset dementia (LOD). Methods: Cross-sectional data from a Nordic multicenter study of 50 community-dwelling participants with AD and 38 with FTD were included. A comparison group consisted of 100 people with LOD. QOL was measured using self-reported Euro-QOL 5-Dimension and the proxy version of Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease (QOL-AD) questionnaire. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and needs were assessed using the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), and Camberwell Assessment of Needs in the Elderly. Multiple linear regression and multilevel modeling was used to determine variables associated with QOL. Results: We found no differences between the two YOD groups in QOL. The variables associated with QOL were scores on the CSDD, NPI, and unmet needs. The proxy QOL-AD score in YOD was significantly higher compared to LOD (median 36.0 [IQR 10.0] vs. 33.0 [IQR 9.0]). Conclusion: The QOL in Nordic people with YOD was better compared to people with LOD. Our results show depressive symptoms to be associated with QOL irrespective of age and diagnosis.

RESUMOObjetivo: descrever as experiências de violências e a autopercepção da qualidade de vida e saúde após os 60 anos de idade. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal e descritivo desenvolvido com 100 idosos comunitários. Utilizaram-se, para a coleta de dados, os instrumentos Qualidade de Vida (WHOQOL-BREEF), Avaliação do Estado Mental e questionário sobre a ocorrência de violências. Resultado: constatou-se uma maior frequência de idosos do sexo feminino (62%), com ensino fundamental incompleto (43%) e renda familiar de até um salário mínimo (46%). Mais da metade dos idosos (62%) declarou não ter uma boa qualidade de vida e 38% descreveram sentimentos compatíveis com o desespero, a ansiedade e a depressão. Observou-se que 73% sofreram algum tipo de violência destacando-se o insulto e a discriminação (40% e 35%, respectivamente), o abandono (31%), o abuso financeiro (15%) e a agressão física (12%). Não se observou relação entre sofrer violência e autopercepção de saúde e qualidade de vida (p-valor de 0,5587). Conclusão: destaca-se a importância da identificação e magnitude das violências nesse segmento populacional, pois as intervenções interdisciplinares e intersetoriais precisam estar articuladas com o setor saúde e, assim, favorecer o protagonismo do idoso no enfrentamento às violências.

More than half of the elderly (62%) reported not having a good quality of life, and 38% described feelings compatible with despair, anxiety and depression. It was observed that 73% suffered some form of violence, including insult and discrimination (40% and 35% respectively), abandonment (31%), financial abuse (15%) and physical aggression (12%).
