 note = {Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship and psychological reaction of person with dementia and their grandchildren by administering a
questionnaire to the primary caregiver.
Methods: A total of 109 caregivers of people with dementia in outpatient enrolled in this study. Questionnaire collected information on age, gender, cognitive severity
(Mini-Mental State Examination), clinical diagnosis, relationship of the caregiver, frequency of meeting with grandchildren, and reaction of person with dementia to
spending time with their grandchildren and/or great-grandchildren, and vice versa.
Results: Eighty-four people had at least one grandchild (77.1%) and a quarter lived with their grandchild and/or great-grandchild. Age of grandchildren increased
with increasing age of person with dementia; frequency of seeing each other decreased with increasing age. While most people with dementia were reported to look
happy when spending time with their grandchildren (94.5%), young people tended to be more non-reactive (26.0%). Non-reactive grandchildren were more prevalent
in the older dementia age group (p < 0.001). Nevertheless, the majority of grandchildren (74.0%) enjoyed spending time together.
Conclusions: People with dementia enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, although older grandchildren are less reactive in these situations.},
