As Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in older people, many efforts for accurate and reliable clinical di- agnoses have been made all over the world. Generally diagnostic process of Alzheimer’s disease is constituted with two steps : 1) to determine whether a patient is actually demented, 2) to determine whether the dementia actually caused by Alzheimer’s disease. Newly developed diagnostic criteria, such as diagnostic criteria of the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association improve their specificity to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. We need Korean specific guideline for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease compati- ble in Korean clinical situation.
