Abstract
In two studies, we examined associations between caregiver ratings of emotional functioning in patients with neurodegenerative diseases and caregiver health. We found associations between patient emotional functioning (i.e., emotion recognition and emotional reactivity) and caregiver health (measured using subjective and objective autonomic indices).
