INTRODUCTION
Routine screening of high-risk elderly people for early cognitive impairment using mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and its modifications may be constrained by demographic and other variables. Warning signs (as reported by family/caregivers) may be a useful alternative. The present data analysis was carried out with the aim to identify the role of 10 warning signs screen as an alternative tool for screening for cognitive impairment among elderly.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
For the purpose of this analysis (correlation), data available with us from a study conducted on the elderly population (60 years and above) from selected geographical areas (Migrant, Urban, Rural, and Tribal) of Himachal Pradesh was used.
RESULTS
A high statistically significant was found between scores on 10 warning signs screen and Hindi mental state examination/Bharmouri mental state examination (modifications of MMSE).
CONCLUSIONS
Ten warning signs screen can be an important screening total for assessment of cognitive impairment in the elderly Indians.
引言
使用简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）及其修订版对高危老年人进行早期认知障碍的常规筛查可能会受到人口统计学和其他变量的限制。警示信号（如家人/护理人员所报告的）可能是一种有用的替代方法。进行本次数据分析的目的是确定10项警示信号筛查作为筛查老年人认知障碍的替代工具的作用。
材料与方法
为了进行本次分析（相关性分析），我们使用了从喜马偕尔邦选定地理区域（移民、城市、农村和部落）的老年人群（60岁及以上）进行的一项研究中获得的数据。
结果
在10项警示信号筛查的得分与印地语精神状态检查表/巴尔穆里精神状态检查表（MMSE的修订版）之间发现了高度统计学显著性。
结论
10项警示信号筛查可以成为评估印度老年人认知障碍的一项重要筛查指标。
