简易精神状态检查（MMSE）是一种评估认知状态的简短测试，受年龄和教育程度的影响很大。它被管理到1019老年受试者（年龄65-89岁）生活在三个不同的意大利城市。建立统计非线性回归模型，以获得调整系数，以减少人口统计学变量对MMSE原始评分的影响。年龄和受教育程度与MMSE评分显著独立相关。多元线性回归的结果与年龄和教育的转换提供了MMSE原始分数的调整系数。这项研究的数据将改善MMSE作为老年人认知功能障碍筛查测试的整体可靠性。
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a brief test to assess cognitive status, is heavily influenced by age and education. It was administered to 1019 elderly subjects (aged 65-89 years) living in three different Italian cities. A statistical non-linear regression model was built up in order to obtain adjustment coefficients to reduce the influence of demographic variables on the MMSE raw scores. Age and educational level were significantly and independently associated with the MMSE score. Results of a multiple linear regression with transformation of age and education provided adjustment coefficients of the MMSE raw scores. Data from this study will ameliorate the overall reliability of MMSE as a screening test for cognitive impairment in elderly people.
