Life Expectancy
[edit]Did I miss it? I can't find anything on life expectancy in the article.

Please
[edit]Please go to www.ftd-picks.org for further information about frontotemporal dementia from the Association for FrontoTemporal Dementia (AFTD) and links to face-to-face and online support groups for FTD caregivers.
- Far more sources - far more excellent sources, including some really good and more recent research published in refereed journals, and synopsized in popular lay and scientific press - can be found than the one or two mentioned in this article. MaynardClark (talk) 19:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
MND is not only ALS
[edit]- "FTD can occur in patients with motor neurone disease (also known in the US as Lou Gehrig's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in a small number of cases."
As I understand, MND includes ALS, but also other diseases. So the sentence should read "In a small number of cases, FTD can occur in patients with motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease in the US)." -Pgan002 18:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
External links
[edit]The official external links policy does not allow the inclusion of internet chat boards, patient support groups, or related links in the article. External links need to be encyclopedic in nature. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

What about a better definition?
[edit]I think that this defintion may fit better.
"Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive deterioration of behaviour, personality and language abilities in association with prominent frontal and temporal lobar atrophy."
Moreover it is referenced ==> Graham A & Hodges J.R. Psichiatry. 2007;7:24-8 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.66.93.48 (talk) 08:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- It is a really good definition, but ideally, a definition should not be a quote. However, I won't remove it if you make the edit. Please provide full source information though (name of article), and make sure you spell correctly.

stroop task
[edit]the stroop task is used to specifically assess orbitofrontal dysfunction. it has a remarkable specificity and is used in cerebral perfusion studies to bias perfusion in the orbitofrontal lobe. persistent hypoperfusion can be understood to prove orbitofrontal dysfunction. there are sources available that suggest its utility in the early diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia via this symptom as the early stages can consist of degeneration progressing from the orbitofrontal lobe. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11320164 http://memory.ucsf.edu/ftd/overview/biology/executive/single — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.238.12 (talk) 15:49, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Costs - Socieconomic Burden of FTD
[edit]Some members of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFD), http://www.theaftd.org/ researched the socieconomic burden of FTD[1][2][3] and concluded that "frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) accounts for 20 to 50 percent of dementia cases in people under the age of 65."

Picks disease
[edit]Why do we not give weight in the lede to Pick's disease as an altname here? Just dropping by as I read about it with an actor's diagnosis today. Thought this might have been discussed before, but if it hasn't the former and historic name would certainly be due (in my opinion). Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 02:18, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Frequency
[edit]Stats on incidence or prevalence are missing from the article; seems like a pretty basic fact. -- Beland (talk) 07:42, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Also this paragraph has me confused "It is the most common early presenting dementia. FTD is the second most prevalent type of early onset dementia after Alzheimer's disease." 2A0A:5586:EA3:0:65FF:4DEA:1E31:63E (talk) 14:41, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
Infobox Update
[edit]Infobox has been updated. Looking to do some heavier work later on updating the page overall, so please let me know if there are any best practices that I might have missed on this first edit. Thanks! Mike Mooney AFTD (talk) 16:43, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Introduction
[edit]The intro is currently three paragraphs, but in my view, only the first of those belongs in the introduction. The second one deserves its own heading, which could be History. The third paragraph would fit better under Subtypes and related disorders. MiguelMunoz (talk) 03:45, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Other Characteristics and Management Sections
[edit]I am a fourth year medical student currently completing a wikipedia medicine elective during which I plan on modifying and updating some of the sections on this page. Specifically, I plan on adding more clarification in the above sections, mainly pertaining to the discussion on primitive reflexes associated with FTD and the pharmacological management of neuropsychiatric symptoms.
