Key inclusion criteria

Individuals diagnosed with FTD (bvFTD, SD, PNFA) or AD.
Participants with a family caregiver who has a comprehensive understanding of their daily life, non-family caregivers such as professional care staff, or medical professionals (e.g., nurses) who are well-acquainted with the patient's daily life, especially in the case of hospitalized patients (as evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms and social functioning is required).

Key exclusion criteria

Individuals who have lived in Japan for less than 20 years.
Participants who provided invalid responses (i.e., incomplete responses or clearly incorrect answers).
Individuals who exhibit significant language comprehension impairment on language function tests (i.e., those with a score below 22 on the language subscale of the ACE-III).
Patients with dementia due to medication or cerebrovascular disorders, those with physical conditions that may affect cognitive function (e.g., severe medical illnesses), or patients with co-occurring psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, or substance abuse.
Other individuals deemed unsuitable by the principal investigator, co-investigators, or attending physician.

To evaluate the clinical utility of the SNQ-J, we will examine the correlations between the SNQ-J scores, collected from patients with FTD and AD, and the scores from various assessments (SF-DEM-J, DSTB, TAS-20, subsets of the NPI, FTLD-CDR, MMSE, and ACE-III). Additionally, we will assess the diagnostic validity of the SNQ-J using ROC analysis.
