Development of a prospective memory assessment tool for early detection of dementia for use by family members

这项研究旨在创建一个简单的评估工具，用于早期检测痴呆症。为此目的，我们调查了1560名老年居民（65-74岁）痴呆的基础上的日常记忆检查表（EMC）。对先前研究报告的EMC支持结果的响应的分布和平均值。此外，日常记忆检查表（EMC）被用来获得与他人的评估高度相关。结果表明，EMC作为一个筛选规模为自己使用和家庭成员使用的痴呆症的可行性。

This study was undertaken to create a simple assessment tool for detection of dementia at an early stage. For this purpose, we examined 1560 elderly local residents (65-74 years old) were dementia-free based on the Everyday Memory Checklist (EMC). Distributions and average values of responses to the EMC supported results reported from previous studies. Moreover, the Everyday memory Checklist (EMC) was used to obtain high correlation with assessments by others. Results indicate the feasibility of using EMC as a screening scale for dementia for self-use and use by family members.
