We aimed to provide the normative data stratified by age, sex and educational attainment for two semantic categories (animal and fruits) in older Spanish adults.
A representative sample of 2,744 non-demented older individuals with different socioeconomic background was selected from the Neurological Disorders in Central Spain (NEDICES), a population-based study. Normative data are presented in percentile ranks and divided into four age-tables with different midpoints, using the overlapping interval procedure.
Correlation analyses showed that age, education and sex influence significantly the scores in both semantic tasks. Normative data presented here covered two urban (Margaritas & Lista) and one rural areas (Arévalo).
These norms may provide useful data for screening cognitive impairment more accurately in Spanish older adults.
我们旨在为西班牙老年成年人的两个语义类别（动物和水果）提供按年龄、性别和教育程度分层的规范数据。
从西班牙中部神经系统疾病（NEDICES）这项基于人群的研究中，选取了2744名具有不同社会经济背景的非痴呆老年人作为代表性样本。规范数据以百分位数表示，并采用重叠区间程序分为四个具有不同中点的年龄表。
相关性分析表明，年龄、教育程度和性别对两项语义任务的得分均有显著影响。此处呈现的规范数据涵盖了两个城市地区（玛格丽塔斯和利斯塔）和一个农村地区（阿雷瓦洛）。
这些规范可能为更准确地筛查西班牙老年成年人的认知障碍提供有用数据。
