Abstract
The "Mini-Mental State" examination developed by Folstein is a well established psychometric test in the assessment of senile dementia. We applied a modified version, the Zurich variant of the Folstein-MMS. A comparative study with both tests in a total of 53 patients (25 with dementia, 28 without dementia) of the Käferberg nursing home revealed highly correlating scores (r = 0.878, p less than 0.001).Entities:
