Examination

An assessment of dementia is not complete without a physical and mental state examination, although the professional(s) who conduct this may vary according to local service structure. Physical examination will help differentiate between different types of dementia and will therefore help tailor appropriate management.

Physical examination should include:General physical examination—looking for signs of treatable causes of dementia (e.g. hypothyroidism)

Cardiovascular assessment—looking for any cardiovascular risk factors
