Thirty elderly subjects with dementia were assessed using a neuropsychological test battery. Using four cognitive and behavioural measures of severity of dementia, no significant relationships between National Adult Reading Test (NART) or Mill Hill Vocabulary Scale synonym section (MHVS) scores and severity were observed. The NART and MHVS correlated with each other to a highly significant degree. No differences were observed on any of the measures when patients with Alzheimer's disease were compared with those adjudged to have multi-infarct dementia. These results are discussed in relation to the existing literature on the estimation of premorbid intelligence in dementia.
使用一套神经心理学测试对30名患有痴呆症的老年人进行了评估。采用痴呆严重程度的四项认知和行为指标，未观察到国家成人阅读测验（NART）或米尔希尔词汇量表同义词部分（MHVS）得分与严重程度之间存在显著关系。NART和MHVS之间存在高度显著的相关性。将阿尔茨海默病患者与被判定患有多发性梗死性痴呆的患者进行比较时，在任何指标上均未观察到差异。结合现有的关于痴呆症病前智力评估的文献对这些结果进行了讨论。
