Several risk indices to predict dementia in non-Hispanic White populations exist, but no such measure has been developed for older Mexican Americans. The purpose of this study was to create a risk index (Mexican American Dementia Nomogram [MADeN]) that predicts dementia over a 10-year period for Mexican Americans aged 65 and older. Retrospective cohort study with longitudinal analysis. Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and California 1,739 participants of the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (H-EPESE). Dementia was defined as a decline of 3 or more points per year on the Mini Mental Status Exam and inability to perform 1 or more daily activities. Candidate risk factors included demographic characteristics, measures of social engagement, self-reported health conditions, ability to complete daily activities, and physical activity. The MADeN included age, gender, education, not having friends to count on, not attending community events, diabetes, feeling the blues, pain, impairment in instrumental activities of daily living, and unable to walk a half-mile. The area under the curve was 0.74 (95% CI=0.70–0.78) and a score of 16 points or higher had a sensitivity of 0.65 (95% CI=0.59–0.72) and specificity of 0.70 (95% CI=0.67–0.73). The MADeN is able to predict dementia in a population of older Mexican American adults with moderate accuracy. The MADeN has the potential be used to identify older Mexican American adults who may benefit from interventions to reduce dementia risk and to educate this population about risk factors for dementia.
