Detecting cognitive impairment is a priority for health systems. The aim of this study is to create normative data on screening tests (MMSE, GDS and MFE) for middle-aged and older Spanish adults, considering the effects of sociodemographic factors.
A total of 2,030 cognitively intact subjects who lived in the community, aged from 50 to 88 years old, participated voluntarily in SCAND consortium studies. The statistical procedure included the conversion of percentile ranges into scalar scores. Secondly, the effects of age, educational level and gender were verified. Linear regressions were used to calculate the scalar adjusted scores. Cut-off values for each test were also calculated.
Scalar scores and percentiles corresponding to MMSE, GDS-15 and MFE are shown. An additional table is provided which shows the points that must be added or subtracted from MMSE score depending on the subject's educational level.
The current norms should provide clinically useful data for evaluating Spanish people aged 50 to 88 years old and should contribute to improving the detection of initial symptoms of cognitive impairment in people living in the community, taking into account the influence of gender, age and educational level.
检测认知障碍是卫生系统的重点。本研究旨在为中年和老年西班牙成年人创建筛查测试（MMSE、GDS 和 MFE）的规范数据，同时考虑社会人口因素的影响。
共有 2030 名认知正常的社区居民参与了 SCAND 联盟研究，年龄在 50 至 88 岁之间，他们自愿参与。统计过程包括将百分位数范围转换为标量分数。其次，验证了年龄、教育水平和性别的影响。线性回归用于计算标量调整分数。还计算了每个测试的截止值。
显示了 MMSE、GDS-15 和 MFE 的标量分数和百分位数。还提供了一个额外的表格，显示了根据受试者的教育水平，从 MMSE 分数中加减的分数。
目前的规范数据应为评估 50 至 88 岁西班牙人群提供有临床意义的数据，并有助于提高对社区居民认知障碍初始症状的检测，同时考虑到性别、年龄和教育水平的影响。
