The purpose of this paper was to use the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) to further define the nature of the underlying factors of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) as proposed by Tinklenberg et al. (1990). The MMSE was administered to 51 patients once every 6 months for at least one year; the WAIS was administered only at the beginning of the study. Stepwise regression analyses yielded these results: for the Following Commands factor, the best correlate was the Comprehension subtest; for the Language Repetition factor, the best correlate was the Picture Arrangement subtest; and for the Language Expression factor, the best correlates were the Digit Symbol and Object Assembly subtests. These relations help clarify the correlates of decline of AD patients on the MMSE.
本文的目的是使用韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）进一步界定廷克伦伯格等人（1990年）提出的简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）潜在因素的性质。对51名患者每6个月进行一次MMSE测试，至少持续一年；WAIS仅在研究开始时进行测试。逐步回归分析得出以下结果：对于“执行指令”因素，最佳关联指标是领悟力分测验；对于“语言复述”因素，最佳关联指标是图片排列分测验；对于“语言表达”因素，最佳关联指标是数字符号和图形拼凑分测验。这些关系有助于阐明AD患者在MMSE上得分下降的相关因素。
