Abstract
Comparing to depression only few studies have been focusing at anxiety symptoms among

carers of persons suffering from dementia. In this study we have compared anxiety among 76

spouses of patients in a mild to moderate stage of dementia, recruited from seven memory

clinics in Norway, with 98 geriatric in-patients acutely admitted to a geriatric ward due to a

serious somatic condition and 68 healthy controls recruited from citizen centres in Oslo.
