ABSTRACT
The DemTect, a frequently used cognitive screening tool for the German-speaking population, has been proven to be age-, but not education-dependent. To date, scoring routines for persons under and over 60 years of age have been available. In order to describe the age-effect more specifically, the DemTect was administered to persons under 40 (n = 105; median 33 years [18 - 39]) and over 80 years of age [n = 68; median 83 years [80 - 93}). After transformation of the raw scores, which are based on the mean and standard deviation of the respective reference group, an adequate attribution of scores could be achieved and no differences between the groups can be observed in the total score or the subtest scores. The median of the transformed total score was 16 [5 18] for the younger and 15 [5 18] for the older age group. The new scoring routines supplement the scoring procedures of the DemTect for these age groups.
