"The Cambridge Mental Disorders of the Elderly" (CAMDEX) is a new structured interview developed for diagnostic of dementia and other psychogeriatric disorders frequent in the old age. The CAMDEX is composed of three main sections: 1) A clinical interview structured to obtain from the patient a systematized information about his present condition, his antecedents and his familiar history. 2) A short neuropsychological battery formed by several cognitive tests. 3) A structured interview to obtain independent information about relative or another informing person about the present state of the patient, his antecedents and his familiar history. The good results obtained by the original version of CAMDEX, as in clinical works as in epidemiological ones, have determined their translation and fitting in our environment. The present work shows the changes that have been necessary to insert in the original version in order that this interview may be used in our geriatric population.
《剑桥老年精神障碍》（CAMDEX）是一种新开发的结构化访谈工具，用于诊断老年期常见的痴呆症和其他老年精神障碍。CAMDEX由三个主要部分组成：1）结构化临床访谈，旨在从患者那里获取有关其当前状况、既往史和家族史的系统信息。2）由多项认知测试组成的简短神经心理测验组。3）结构化访谈，以从亲属或其他提供信息者那里获取关于患者当前状况、既往史和家族史的独立信息。CAMDEX原始版本在临床工作和流行病学研究中都取得了良好结果，这促使其被翻译并适用于我们的环境。本研究展示了为使该访谈能用于我国老年人群体而对原始版本所做的必要修改。
