✦ Synopsis

The Mini-Mental State Examination was modified for use in a non-western elderly population and named the Korean Version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K). Study subjects were a group of normal subjects and a group of patients with functional mental disorders. Among the variables of age, sex, residence, education and diagnosis, education was the only factor found to influence total MMSE-K scores. Among the component parts of the MMSE-K, orientation in time, orientation in place, concentration/calculation and language function were significantly influenced by education. After adding one point to scores of orientation in time, two to scores of concentration/calculation and one to scores of language function in non-educated individuals, differences between total scores and scores of the three items corrected lost statistical significance between the educated and non-educated elderly groups. Cutoff points for cognitive impairment and their diagnostic validity are not presented in this article.
