Abstract. It is known that anxiety in dementia occurs in 35-89% of cases. Existing scales allow you to assess a wide range of mental disorders of the usual late age, but they are not aimed at identifying anxiety or characterize it as isolated from other related diseases. With the help of such scales, you can find positive and negative symptoms, determine the degree of their incorrect effect, but none of them allows you to assess the severity of the situation, not taking into account the complex relationship between the anxiety complex and subsequent symptoms

Keywords: psychometric assessment, anxiety states, dementias of late age
