The statistical analysis applied elements of descriptive statistics. In reference to ordinal variables and qualitative variables, number \(n\) and percent \(%\) were applied. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and the multiple correlation coefficient were used for dependence\-related analyses. The significance of the correlation coefficient was tested using the Student's t\-test. In cases when this was sensible, the multiple regression equation was constructed in reference to the dependence of one variable on other variables \(one or several\) assuming the most simple, rectilinear shape of the dependence. The analysis of the significance of differences between the mean values in the compared groups was carried out using the Student's t\-test, the Mann–Whitney U test and the Chi\-squared test. The significance level adopted in all the analyses was α=0.05. Results The disease duration in the persons receiving care with Alzheimer's disease for both groups jointly \(Group A and B\) was on average 5.0 years. In Group A it was 5.8 years and in Group B it was 4.2 years. The most numerous group of persons taking care of persons with Alzheimer's disease were their children. The persons"]
