本文的目的是提供基于人群的数据，显示年龄对老年日裔美国成年人认知测试表现的影响。此外，我们还将教育、性别和主要口语的相对影响与文献中报道的主流文化老年人的影响进行了比较。研究对象包括201名70岁及以上的非痴呆日裔美国成年人，他们目前参加了Kame项目，这是一项在华盛顿州金县进行的关于衰老和痴呆的前瞻性研究。认知测试包括建立阿尔茨海默病注册联盟（CERAD）神经心理评估组、WAIS-R数字广度和数字符号子测试、轨迹制作测试、普渡钉板和手指敲击。年龄越大，各项测试得分越低（p < 0.05）；低于高中教育程度的人在除数字广度、手指敲击和普渡钉板测试外的所有测试中得分都较低。在记忆力、注意力和视觉运动能力的各种测试中，女性和说英语的参与者得分高于男性和说日语的参与者。这些数据强调了在解释少数民族文化老年人认知筛选测试结果时使用适当纠正规范的重要性。(C) 2001年国家神经心理学研究院。Elsevier Science Ltd.出版。
The purpose of this paper was to present population-based data showing the effects of age on cognitive test performance in a sample of older Japanese American adults. In addition, the relative effects of education, gender, and primary spoken language were compared to effects that have been reported in the literature for majority culture older adults. Subjects included 201 non-demented Japanese American adults age 70 and older currently enrolled in the Kame Project, a prospective study of aging and dementia in King County, WA. Cognitive tests included the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) neuropsychological assessment battery, WAIS-R Digit Span and Digit Symbol subtests, Trail Making Test, Purdue Pegboard, and Finger Tapping. Older age was associated with significantly (p < 0.05) lower scores on all tests; less than high school education was associated with lower scores on all tests except Digit Span, Finger Tapping, and the Purdue Pegboard. Women and English-speaking participants scored higher than men and Japanese speakers on various tests of memory, attention, and visuomotor ability. These data reinforce the importance of using appropriately corrected norms when interpreting results of cognitive screening tests with minority culture older adults.
