Trail Making Test: regression-based norms for the Portuguese population.

The main goal of this study was to produce normative data for the Portuguese population on the Trail Making Test (TMT). The study included 1,038 community-dwelling individuals aged between 18 and 93 years, who had educational backgrounds ranging from 3 to 22 years. The results showed that sex, age, and education were significantly associated with TMT performance. These demographic characteristics accounted for 57% of the performance variance at part A and 50% at part B. The normative data are presented as regression-based algorithms to adjust direct and derived test scores for sex, age, and education. The adjusted scores' percentile distributions and their correspondence with scaled scores are also provided.
