Description

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)   is a screening test which has been used widely for dementia.   evaluation.   This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of MMSE (MMSE-J)    (Sugishita, 2006)   based on data from 313. subjects (normal control : 107, MCI : 154 and AD : 52).   MMSE-J has two varieties : one (the serial 7s version)   uses the serial 7s task as the Attention and Calculation task. the other (the backward repetition version)   uses the backward repetition of word as the task. Predictive validity of MMSE-J was excellent (the serial 7s version : sensitivity 0.86, specificity 0.89, the backward repetition version : sensitivity 0.88, specificity 0.94).<br>      The test-retest reliability of MMSE-J was estimated on the 142 subjects who were tested twice (the first test and the second test 6months after the first test)   to be 0.81 for the serial 7s version and 0.77 for the backward repetition version.   The predictive validity of MMSE-J was excellent (the serial 7s version : sensitivity 0.83, specificity 0.92, the backward repetition version : sensitivity 0.83, specificity 1.00).   In conclusion, MMSE-J is a sensitive screening test in detecting dementia.
