On the other hand, VLOSLP+AD participants scored in between the other two groups in the WMS-R LM II, with only VLOSLP−AD participants scoring significantly higher than aMCI−P+AD participants. There were no significant differences in sex distribution and MMSE scores among the three groups or in the subtype of psychotic symptoms between VLOSLP−AD and +AD participants. Four VLOSLP−AD and five VLOSLP+AD participants harbored partition delusions. Delusion of theft was shown in two VLOSLP−AD patients and five VLOSLP+AD patients.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec id="S1041610222001132_as7"><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p>Some VLOSLP patients had AD pathology.
