Lay Summary :
Stiffness in the limbs and slowed movements can be symptoms of Parkinson's disease but are also commonly seen to co-occur with dementia. Some studies have suggested that people with dementia who have these symptoms may have a worse outcome, but this is still unclear. This study will develop a means to ascertain these symptoms when they are mentioned in routine clinical records and will then evaluate associations with dementia progression, hospitalisation and mortality.<br/>
