In this paper, the authors provided a set of normative data on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) from a random sample of 906 normal, healthy subjects of both sexes, 20 to 79 years of age.Abstract:
We provide a set of normative data on the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE) from a random sample of 906 normal, healthy subjects of both sexes, 20 to 79 years of age. Subjects were selected in six Italian cities and in the Republic of San Marino. Results show the significant influence of sociodemographic variables, such as age and education, on MMSE performance. We used Multiple Linear Regression Analyses to correct MMSE normative values for these demographic effects. The analyses allow us to specify cutoff scores for distinguishing “normal” performance from “borderline” and pathologic performance.read more

TL;DR: A key role for NMS in the clinical frame of PD is supported and the need to address them specifically in clinical trials using dedicated scales is addressed.

TL;DR: Lenercept failed to be beneficial, but insight into the role of TNF in MS exacerbations was gained.

Mini-Mental State Examination: a normative study in Italian elderly population.
TL;DR: Data will ameliorate the overall reliability of MMSE as a screening test for cognitive impairment in elderly people and reduce the influence of demographic variables on the MMSE raw scores.

TL;DR: Italian normative values were derived from a sample of 364 control subjects of different ages and educational level to improve the accuracy in the use of the FAB both for clinical and research purposes.

Freezing of gait and executive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: FOG correlated with lower scores at frontal tests in patients with early‐stage PD, and was significantly lower in Fog+ patients than in FOG− patients.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
Marshal F. Folstein,Marshal F. Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Paul R. McHugh,Paul R. McHugh +5 more
TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

TL;DR: A new Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) designed specifically for rating depression in the elderly was tested for reliability and validity and compared with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRS-D) and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) as discussed by the authors.

Limits of the 'Mini-Mental State' as a screening test for dementia and delirium among hospital patients
TL;DR: The MMSE's value as a screen instrument for dementia and delirium when later, more intensive diagnostic enquiry is possible is confirmed; earlier suggestions that the MMSE alone cannot yield a diagnosis for these conditions are reinforced.

The prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in Shanghai, China: Impact of age, gender, and education
M Y Zhang,Robert Katzman,David P. Salmon,Hua Jin,G J Cai,Z Y Wang,G Y Qu,Igor Grant,Elena Yu,Paul S. Levy +9 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the prevalence of dementia in Shanghai is very much higher than figures published earlier for China and Japan, and at the lower part of the range of values reported for community residents in the United States and other Western countries, but less than half of that reported in the recently published survey of the elderly in East Boston.
