The objective of this study is to establish the effects of age, gender, and education and to provide preliminary normative data for letter and category fluency tasks in the Egyptian Arabic-speaking population. We evaluated 139 cognitively healthy volunteers aged 20-93 by adapting the letter and category verbal fluency tasks for the Egyptian population. On the letter fluency task, mean number of words generated in one-minute beginning with the Arabic letter "Sheen" (pronounced "sh") was 8.14 words per minute (SD = 3.25). Letter fluency was significantly influenced by education. On category fluency tasks, mean number of animal names generated in one minute was 14.63 words (SD = 5.28). Category fluency was significantly influenced by age and education. We were able identify that age significantly affects category fluency while education significantly affected both letter and category fluency. We were also able to provide preliminary normative data for both tasks in the Egyptian population.
本研究的目的是确定年龄、性别和教育程度的影响，并为埃及阿拉伯语人群的字母流畅性任务和类别流畅性任务提供初步的常模数据。我们通过为埃及人群改编字母和类别言语流畅性任务，对139名年龄在20 - 93岁、认知健康的志愿者进行了评估。在字母流畅性任务中，以阿拉伯字母“Sheen”（发音为“sh”）开头在一分钟内生成的单词平均数量为每分钟8.14个单词（标准差 = 3.25）。字母流畅性受教育程度的显著影响。在类别流畅性任务中，一分钟内生成的动物名称平均数量为14.63个单词（标准差 = 5.28）。类别流畅性受年龄和教育程度的显著影响。我们能够确定年龄显著影响类别流畅性，而教育程度显著影响字母流畅性和类别流畅性。我们还能够为埃及人群这两项任务提供初步的常模数据。
