Table 1. Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of Respondents.

Variable	DEMQOL		DEMQOL-Proxy
	United Kingdom (n = 868)	Latin Americaa (n = 417)	United Kingdom (n = 909)	Latin Americab (n = 495)
Note. MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination (Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1975); CDR = Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (C. P. Hughes, Berg, Danziger, Coben, & Martin, 1982). Age differences between United Kingdom and Latin America study samples have small effect sizes for DEMQOL (Hedges’ g = .13) and DEMQOL-Proxy (Hedges’ g = .10). Differences in proportion of male respondents between UK and Latin America study samples have small effect sizes for DEMQOL (Phi = .06) and DEMQOL-Proxy (Phi = .10). Differences in illness severity prevalence between United Kingdom and Latin America study samples have medium effect sizes for DEMQOL (Cramer’s V = .25) and DEMQOL-Proxy (Cramer’s V = .23).
