Figure 3. Change in the cost of informal dementia care by CDR over time.

Figure 3

Figure 3 displays the informal dementia care costs in the fully adjusted time-varying CDR model for an individual without vascular dementia and in good/excellent health. For illustration, the corresponding informal care costs associated with a CDR of 1 (mild) with dementia duration of 4 years = $11/day; the informal care costs associated with a CDR of 3 (severe) with dementia duration of 7 years = $62/day. CDR values are: 0.5 (very mild), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe).
