BMC Neurology, 08/27/09
Sosa AL et al. – Cognitive assessment is a basic element for dementia diagnosis. Age– and education–specific norms are required for this purpose, while the effect of gender can probably be ignored. The basis of cultural effects is poorly understood, but these findings serve to emphasise that normative data may not be safely generalised from one population to another with quite different characteristics. The minimal effects of region on COGSCORE and WLR are reassuring with respect to the cross–cultural validity of the 10/66 dementia diagnosis, which uses only these elements of the 10/66 battery.
