The objective of this study was to assess Mini-Mental State Examination norms of a functionally normal sample of community-dwelling elderly. Illiterate and low-educated subjects who scored less than 5 on the Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (PFAQ) [n = 397; female = 269; mean age = 72.15 (SD = 7.24) years] had the 5th, 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles calculated according to age (65-74; 75-84 years). Overall MMSE score was 21.97 (SD = 4.48). Mean MMSE for illiterate younger individuals was 19.46 (SD = 3.47), and the quartile distribution was 14, 17, 19, and 21. MMSE of subjects with 1-8 years of schooling was 23.90 (3.87), and the distribution was 15, 22, 24, and 27. MMSE of older illiterate subjects was 18.11 (SD = 3.63), and the distribution of scores was 13, 16, 18, and 20, whereas subjects with 1-8 years of schooling scored 23.81 (SD = 4.01) and the distribution was 15, 22, 24, and 27. These MMSE normative data may help improve the detection of cognitive impairment in Brazil, mainly in the primary clinical setting.
本研究的目的是评估社区居住老年人功能正常样本的简易精神状态检查表规范。在 Pfeffer 功能活动问卷(PFAQ)上得分低于 5 分的文盲和低学历受试者 [n = 397;女性 = 269;平均年龄 = 72.15(标准差 = 7.24)岁],根据年龄(65 - 74 岁;75 - 84 岁)计算出第 5、25、50 和 75 百分位数。简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)总分是 21.97(标准差 = 4.48)。文盲年轻个体的平均 MMSE 为 19.46(标准差 = 3.47),四分位数分布为 14、17、19 和 21。接受 1 - 8 年教育的受试者的 MMSE 为 23.90(3.87),分布为 15、22、24 和 27。年长文盲受试者的 MMSE 为 18.11(标准差 = 3.63),得分分布为 13、16、18 和 20,而接受 1 - 8 年教育的受试者得分 23.81(标准差 = 4.01),分布为 15、22、24 和 27。这些 MMSE 规范数据可能有助于改善巴西认知障碍的检测,主要是在初级临床环境中。
