posted on 2017-06-29, 12:42 authored by Xin Xu, Shifu Xiao, T.B. Rahardjo, Eef HogervorstEef HogervorstUsing a combination of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) and the
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), we investigated the prevalence of possible
dementia (DEM) in community-dwelling elderly in Shanghai. Subsequently, we
investigated significant risk factors for DEM and generated a DEM self-checklist for early
DEM detection and case management. We found that among a total of 521 participants
using a HVLT cut-off score of <19 and a MMSE cut-off score of <24, a total of 69 DEM
cases were identified. Risk factors, such as advanced age (≥68 years), low education (no or
primary level), self-reported history of hypertension, and self-reported subjective memory
complaints (SMC) were significantly predictive of DEM. The presence of ≥3 out of four of the
above mentioned risk factors can effectively discriminate DEM cases from non-DEM subjects.
