RESUMO
The authors compared the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Fuld Object-Memory Exam (FULD) in a Hispanic non-immigrant population in New Mexico. Results demonstrated that performance on the MMSE was affected by lower education and income levels. Performance on the FULD was not affected by these variables. Among persons with limited education and lower income, the FULD may provide a better means of screening for cognitive deficit than measures such as the MMSE.
