This project is based on a three-year program that aims to improve the knowledge of the socioeconomic consequences of dementia in Norway. By including patients with and without dementia in four different cohorts (from nursing homes, from memory clinics, home-dwelling persons with dementia and elderly persons without dementia), the project's aim is to describe the course of dementia, the economical cost of dementia and to look into possible risk factors for dementia.

Baseline assessments take place when the person is admitted to the nursing home. The patients will be assessed every six months over a three-year follow-up period. The first participant was included in March 2012, and baseline inclusion will be completed in December 2013. | ||
| In-home care | People 70 years of age or older receiving in-home care recruited from municipalities in Hedmark, Oppland, Oslo, Østfold and Buskerud (n=995).

DNA samples are collected by mouth swabs from persons recruited from nursing homes.
| Quality of Life in persons admitted to nursing homes | Quality of Life is assessed with standardized assessment Tools. The nursing home cohort is assessed at baseline and every 6 month for three years, the other three cohorts are assessed three times over a three-year follow up period. | 3 years |
| Prescription of medication | Prescription of medication is recorded at baseline, and the amount of medication used is recorded throughout the study period. The nursing home cohort is assessed at baseline and every 6 month for three years, the other three cohorts are assessed three times over a three-year follow up period. | 3 years |
| DNA polymorphism | DNA samples are collected for the nursing home cohort, and they are assessed for genetic polymorphism previous associated with dementia. The results are used as covariates in the analyses of the course of the symptoms and to look for risk factors for dementia. | At baseline |
| Organizational factors of the nursing homes | Organizational factors of the nursing homes and variables associated with the staff of the nursing homes will be collected at baseline, and the data will be used to explore associations between nursing home characteristics and the course of the symptoms in the patients. | At baseline |
