- To investigate the current status and influencing factors regarding quality of life among patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Through stratified cluster sampling method, two hundred patients with AD and their caregivers were chosen and interviewed. AD patients were assessed by questionnaires, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD), in order to compare the reports from patients and caregivers on QOL-AD and to analyze related influencing factors.

The scores of reports from patients (28.78 ± 4.30) were lower than that from the caregivers' (30.05 ± 6.05). The difference was statistically significant (t = 2.122, P < 0.05) and was positively correlated (r = 0.312, P < 0.001). Data from multivariate analysis showed that cognitive level (t = 3.465, P = 0.001), marriage relationship (t
