AB Among  the  most  important  dementing  disorders  are  Alzheimer  disease  (AD),  which  affects  about  6  million  people  in  the  United  States,  and  dementia  with  Lewy  bodies,  the  second  most  common  dementia,  which  includes  dementia  associated  with  Parkinson  disease  and  dementia  with  Lewy  bodies.  Other  important  dementia  disorders  include  the  frontotemporal  dementias  (FTDs)  encompassing  corticobasal  degeneration  (CBD)  and  progressive  supranuclear  palsy  (PSP),  vascular  cognitive  impairment,  and  normal  pressure  hydrocephalus  (NPH).  Mild  cognitive  impairment  is  a  term  used  for  persons  with  cognitive  impairment  who  do  not  meet  dementia  criteria  because  of  lack  of  sufficient  impairment  in  function.  Transient  global  amnesia,  a  temporary  condition,  is  also  discussed  in  this  chapter.
