为了评估标准化精神状态检查预测日常生活活动（ADL）的能力，从59例严重程度不同但无其他精神疾病或重大医疗问题的进行性痴呆患者中获得了简易精神状态检查（MMSE）评分和ADL评分。在整个样本中，MMSE分数仅解释了工具性ADL和身体ADL的方差的三分之一，并且在痴呆程度较低的一半样本中，MMSE和ADL彼此独立。这表明认知丧失和功能障碍是痴呆严重程度的两个不同方面，必须单独评估。
To evaluate a standardized mental status exam's ability to predict activities of daily living (ADLs), Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) scores and ADL scores were obtained from 59 patients with progressive dementias of widely varying severity but with no other psychiatric disorders or major medical problems. The MMSE scores explained only about one-third of the variance in both instrumental ADLs and physical ADLs in the whole sample, and the MMSE and ADLs were independent of one another in the less demented half of the sample. This suggests that cognitive losses and functional impairments are two distinct aspects of dementia severity, which must be assessed separately.
