There is a dearth of non-Western normative data for neuropsychological batteries designed to measure cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Here, we provide normative data for English-speaking ethnic Chinese on the widely used Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia acquired from 595 healthy community participants between ages 14 and 55. Means and standard deviations of subtests and composite scores were stratified by age group and sex. We also explored linear regression approaches to generate continuous norms adjusted for age, sex, and education. Notable differences in subtest performances were found against a Western comparison sample. Normative data established in the current sample are essential for clinical and research purposes as it serves as a reference source of cognition for ethnic Chinese.
用于测量精神分裂症认知缺陷的神经心理学成套测验缺乏非西方规范数据。在这里，我们提供了广泛使用的《精神分裂症认知简明评估》在英语为母语的华裔人群中的规范数据，该数据来自 595 名年龄在 14 至 55 岁之间的健康社区参与者。根据年龄组和性别对各测验和综合分数的平均值和标准差进行分层。我们还探索了线性回归方法，以生成针对年龄、性别和教育进行调整的连续规范值。与西方对照样本相比，在各测验表现中发现了显著差异。在当前样本中建立的规范数据对于临床和研究目的至关重要，因为它是华裔人群认知的参考来源。
