There are commonly used simple tests for cognitive function that allow for rather superficial assessment in population based study. The goal of the paper was to present the results of cognitive function assessment in elderly men and women recruited from Polish rural population obtained using the battery of tests designed for the CASCADE Project and to assess the relations between the results of tests included in the battery. Studied group were 182 persons at the age of 65-78 years. The battery of tests included: MMSE, Stroop Test, Test Purdue Pegboard (TPP), letter-digit substitution test, word recall test (3 word lists including one with distraction), word fluency test and prospective memory test. The battery allowed for the assessment of short, semantic and prospective memory, attention, speed of perception and processing, word fluency and motoric function. The results of all tests were strongly correlated and indicated for a decreased cognitive function in men and women at the age of 65-78 years with low level of education. Decreased level of cognitive function could be related both to physiological ageing of the brain and to the presence of pathological process.
在基于人群的研究中，有一些常用的认知功能简易测试，这些测试只能进行较为表面的评估。本文的目的是呈现对从波兰农村人口中招募的老年男性和女性进行认知功能评估的结果，这些结果是使用为级联项目设计的一系列测试获得的，并评估该系列测试中各项测试结果之间的关系。研究对象为182名年龄在65至78岁之间的人。该系列测试包括：简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）、斯特鲁普测试、普渡钉板测验（TPP）、字母数字替换测试、单词回忆测试（3个单词列表，其中一个包含干扰项）、单词流畅性测试和前瞻性记忆测试。该系列测试能够评估短期记忆、语义记忆和前瞻性记忆、注意力、感知和处理速度、单词流畅性以及运动功能。所有测试的结果都高度相关，表明65至78岁、教育程度较低的男性和女性认知功能下降。认知功能水平下降可能与大脑的生理老化以及病理过程的存在都有关系。
