This project is unique, nationally and internationally. Large groups of people with varying levels of dementia are followed longitudinally. Individual data are collected using well-established instruments that cover the relevant aspects of the disease course and resource use. These data will be linked with organizational data. Consequently, the respective contribution of organizational and individual variables in predicting the disease course and resource use in dementia may be estimated.
