-LBD should be diagnosed when dementia occurs before or concurrently with parkinsonism. The term Parkinson disease dementia (PDD) should be used to describe dementia that occurs in the context of well-established Parkinson disease. In a practice ​setting the term that is most appropriate to the clinical situation should be used and generic terms such as Lewy body disease ​are often helpful. In research studies in which distinction needs to be made between LBD and PDD, the existing 1-year rule between the onset of dementia and parkinsonism continues to be recommended.+LBD patients present with memory impairments first, where as PD patients present with motor impairments firstLBD should ​also be diagnosed when dementia occurs before or concurrently with parkinsonism.
