Abstract
- To explore association of variables influencing MMSE-Thai version (MMSE-T) score among Thai subjects.365 general non dementia Thai subjects of age 45-87 years were randomly recruited in Bangkok. All subjects were screened with MMSE-T and interviewed. Demographic factors that might affect the score of MMSE-T were collected. Relationship between demographic variables and MMSE-T score were evaluated.Of 365 subjects, mean MMSE-T score was 27.2 and ranged 17-30. There were 27 cases (7.44%) with MMSE-T scoreor = 23. Subjects who had a scoreor = 23, were 18 cases (27.69%) and 9 cases (3.01%) in education level less than bachelor degree and at least bachelor degree respectively (p value0.001). By linear regression analysis, the factors significantly affected the lower score were age higher than 60 years (p=0.017) and education below bachelor degree (p0.001).Factors including elderly and low education were negatively influenced on MMSE-T performance among Thai subjects.
