| Annotation | A semi-structured interview method (the "Yesterday Interview") has been proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is used to reconstruct the preceding 24-hour period in terms of activity, social and environmental context, and subjective enjoyment. Data were collected on 24 control subjects and a sample of 99 community-based patients diagnosed with either Parkinson's disease with or without dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), or dementia with Lewy body. The interview reveals a pattern of altered activity in a number of domains, relative to the age-matched control group, with a marked tendency for non-productive (passive) activity, particularly in the dementing disorders. The Yesterday Interview and ICF framework may provide useful tools for further outcome research in the area of neurodegenerative disease. (RH). |
