Influence of cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and diagnostic factors on financial capacity: A longitudinal analysis of the ADNI cohort by Milap A. Nowrangi, Jeannie Marie Leoutsakos, Haijuan Yan, Arnold Bakker, Kevin J. Manning, George W. Rebok, Paul B. Rosenberg, Vidyulata Kamath

“…To investigate the relationship between FC, cognitive domains, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and transitions from normal cognition (cognitive normal [CN]) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD), we conducted a secondary analysis of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort using the Financial Capacity Instrument short form (FCI‐SF). Methods To examine these longitudinal relationships, we fit two models, a random effects (random intercept) “time‐averaged” model and a “time since previous visit” model, where we regressed each of the five component financial scores on each of the cognitive composite scores. …”
