背景：西班牙语是美国第二大通用语言，讲西班牙语的人占老龄人口的三分之一。国家阿尔茨海默病协调中心的统一数据集实施了西班牙神经心理学电池。以前的工作描述了英语使用者的神经心理表现。在这里，我们描述的西班牙语version.Methods的性能：从276西班牙语与正常认知的数据进行了总结，与个人认知测试的性能描述表。回归技术被用来评估人口统计学对认知performance.Results的影响：西班牙语发言者更年轻（70.0与74.0年），受教育程度更低（10.7与15.7年），更多的女性（76%与63%的女性）比以前描述的英语发言者。高等教育和较低的年龄与更好的performance.Conclusion：这个国家的队列特征良好的讲西班牙语的老年人提供了描述性数据的认知性能，临床和研究工作的一个重要工具。(C)2014年，阿尔茨海默氏症协会。All rights reserved.
Background: Spanish is the second-most common language spoken in the United States, and Spanish speakers represent one third of the aging population. The National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's Uniform Data Set implemented a Spanish neuropsychological battery. Previous work described the neuropsychological performance for English speakers. Here we describe performance on the Spanish version.Methods: Data from 276 Spanish speakers with normal cognition were summarized, with descriptive tables of performance on individual cognitive tests. Regression techniques were used to evaluate the effect of demographics on cognitive performance.Results: Spanish speakers were younger (70.0 vs 74.0 years) and less educated (10.7 vs 15.7 years) with more females (76% vs 63% female) than the previously described English speakers. Higher education and lower age were associated with better performance.Conclusion: This national cohort of well-characterized Spanish-speaking elders provides descriptive data on cognitive performance, an important tool for clinical and research efforts.
