“…In the patient group, ambulation status, depression, and cognitive status were evaluated with the Functional Ambulation Classification Scale (FACS), the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), respectively (Ertan & Eker, 2000;Keskinoglu et al, 2009;Viosca, Mart ınez, Almagro, Gracia, & Gonz alez, 2005;Yesavage & Sheikh, 1986). These assessment tools are appropriate and recommended in geriatric populations (Kane, Ouslander, & Abrass, 2004).…”

“…The MMSE is a brief two-part, 30-point bedside screening questionnaire for cognitive impairment that has been validated for Turkish subjects (Keskinoglu et al, 2009). The possible scores range between 0 and 30, with scores of 25-30 considered intact or normal, scores of 21-24 considered suggestive of mild deterioration, and scores of <9 considered diagnostic of severe dementia.…”

“…[2][3] Numerous studies have provided different cutoff scores for cognitive impairment according to age and education both in developed and in developing countries. [4][5][6] In Brazil, most studies have examined the psychometric properties of the MMSE only in clinical settings, [7][8][9] providing cutoff points ranging from 12 to 19 for illiterate elderly. However, the instrument may behave differently in community samples of older adults.…”

OBJECTIVE: Mini-Mental State Examination cutoffs have been presented for schooling levels to screen cognitive impairment. However, items may behave differently with regards to education. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of education on MMSE subscales and items. METHOD: Community-dwelling participants aged 65 years or more (n = 990, females = 637, age = 74.1 years, range 65-108) were stratified as illiterate (n = 373), 1-8 (n = 540), 9-12 (n = 63), and more than 12 years of schooling (n = 14) and were screened with MMSE and Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire. To make the Mini-Mental State Examination items comparable, each item was transformed into z scores. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the effect of schooling on MMSE subs and items controlling for age, sex, and activities of daily life. RESULTS: Temporal and space orientation, attention/calculation, repetition, reading, writing, and drawing scores improved as education increased, but not memory registration, three step command, and naming. Reading and writing displayed the largest coefficients, whereas education exerted no influence on naming and three step command tasks. CONCLUSION: Education does not exert an important effect on naming, three step command, memory registration, and delayed recall. As memory is a key factor for diagnosing dementia, these items could be considered despite education.

Psychological well-being in older adults is an important issue in Geropsychology and there is an increasing interest about the older adults living in the community and at home. Understanding markers of well-being associated with either living in an institution or at home would help to explore certain unique variables that make the older adults' life difficult. Among older adults, depression decreases the quality of life and affect the individual's lifespan significantly. However, there have been few studies investigating institution-specific or home-specific markers of depression which are the aims of the current study. The present study aims to make a comparison between 924 the older adults residing in institutions to 846 the older adults residing at home in terms of socio-demographic and health-related variables. Women living at home had higher depression scores than women in the institution. Conversely, men living in institutions were more depressed than living at home while married older adults at home have lower depression scores. Education and income are inversely associated with depression scores. As the number of illnesses increases so does the level of depression. Finally, there is a negative relationship with perceptions of prognosis and perceptions of threat regarding their medical conditions and depression. The interaction of gender, income and residence type is discussed in detail within a cultural context. Possible implications are suggested to improve the psychological well-being of older adults and the specific needs of different populations of older adults based on their residence type are addressed.
