“…It is advantageous in that it allows for long-term evaluation, of which the MMSE is unable to perform (Brickman et al, 2002). The BDRS comes in both full and modified form, where the full test assesses for everyday activities, habits, personality, interest, and drive, whereas the modified version simply tests for everyday activities and habits (Park, Jung, & Lim, 1995). The BDRS yielded 96% sensitivity and 82% specificity in distinguishing subjects with dementia among a sample of 291 older adults (Heun, Papassotiropoulos, & Jennssen, 1998).…”

Hispanic individuals are at greater risk for health disparities, less than optimal health care, and are diagnosed at later stages of cognitive impairment than white non-Hispanics. Acculturation and different attitudes toward test-taking may result in decrements in performance, especially on unfamiliar measures that emphasize speed and accuracy. Non-Hispanic individuals often outperform Hispanic individuals on cognitive and neuropsychological measures in community and clinical populations. Current neuropsychological testing may not provide accurate data related to monolingual and bilingual individuals of Hispanic descent. Testing instruments were identified by searching academic databases using combinations of relevant search terms. Neuropsychological instruments were included if they were designed to detect cognitive impairment, had an administration time of less than 45 minutes, and were available in English. Validity studies were required to employ gold standard comparison diagnostic criteria. Twenty-nine instruments were evaluated in dementia staging, global cognition, memory, memory and visual abilities, working memory and attention, verbal learning and memory, recall, language, premorbid intelligence, literacy/cognitive reserve, visuospatial, attention, problem-solving, problem solving and perception, functional assessment, and mood/daily functioning domains. Spanish-language neuropsychological instruments need to be made widely available and existing instruments to be normed in Spanish to best serve and assess diverse populations. Psychometric data were reported for neuropsychological instruments, which may be administered to Hispanic older adults presenting for evaluation related to dementia-spectrum disorders. This is one of the few reviews to provide an overview of the sensitivity and specificity of available Spanish translated neuropsychological instruments.

Objective: As there is little understanding of disability processes in Taiwanese elders, the present study aimed to identify medical predictors of the incidence of activities of daily living (ADL) disability. Method: A total of 903 subjects were studied over a 4‐year period (1994–1998). The measurement instrument was the Chinese‐version Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire (CMFAQ). Only the subjects free of ADL disability at baseline were included in separate logistic regression models to predict disability in physical and instrumental ADL. Results: The hypothesised associations between chronic conditions and future functional disability were cross‐nationally confirmed. Arthritis, diabetes and hypertension were significantly predictive of the onset of physical ADL (PADL) disability; diabetes was the only medical predictor of instrumental ADL (IADL) disability. Age and educational level were significant predictors of PADL and IADL. Conclusions: Prevention programs for chronic disease need to pay more attention not only to the disabled population, but also to secondary prevention among those elders who have higher medical risk of developing disability.
