To examine the relationship between life events and survival for people with dementia. To investigate whether this relationship differs from that for people without dementia. To identify which psychiatric and social factors are associated with survival in people with dementia. ⋯ This study provides some evidence that having two or more stressful and negative life events may reduce survival in older people with and without dementia. If replicated, this finding will have implications for our understanding of the clinical course of dementia.
