摘要计算机断层扫描(CT)和简短的心理测量结果的50名60岁以上的精神和神经健康的社区居民提出。强调了标准化CT数据的必要性，并讨论了获取这些数据的方法学问题。脑室大小的测量通常被发现比其他工作者报告的要大，而且随着年龄的变化也被发现没有到目前为止报告的那么显著。在大脑皮层萎缩的全球评级和记忆和定向测试之间发现了相互作用的关系。这一信息通报构成了与后续文章中介绍的精神病患者群体进行比较的基础。
Summary Computed tomographic (CT) and brief psychometric findings on 50 psychiatrically and neurologically healthy community residents over 60 years old are presented. The need for normative CT data is emphasized, and the methodological problems in obtaining them are discussed. Measures of ventricular size were generally found to be greater than those reported by other workers, and variation with age was also found to be less marked than hitherto reported. A reciprocal relationship was found between a global rating of cortical atrophy and a test of memory and orientation. This communication forms the basis for comparison with groups of psychiatric patients to be presented in subsequent articles.
