β¦ Synopsis
Age, sex, race, cognitive impairment, level of depression, psychiatric diagnosis and length of time receiving neuroleptic medication have been proposed as risk factors for the development of tardive dyskinesia (TD) in the elderly. The charts of 186 patients were reviewed to collect demographic, diagnostic and structured test data to identify the primary variables associated with TD in a geropsychiatric outpatient community mental health setting. The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) was the only variable consistently associated with TD. MMSE significantly correlated with total Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale scores, accounted for the most variance in the multiple regression equations, significantly contributed to the logistic regression models and differentiated between those with and without TD.

## Abstract Tardive dyskinesia (TD) occurs in approximately 20% of patients exposed to longβterm antipsychotic treatment and may be influenced by genetic predisposition, in addition to clinical risk factors. In this study, we implemented a twoβstep approach to identify susceptibility genes for TD.
The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between tardive dyskinesia (TD) and polydipsia. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) and percent of maximum weight gain (PMWG)/week were simultaneously examined in 163 hospitalized patients receiving neuroleptic treatment. Pa
## Background: Chronically hospitalized geriatric inpatients with schizophrenia are at particular risk for both tardive dyskinesia (td) and cognitive impairment but have been insufficiently studied in this regard. similarly, the relationship between td and cognitive impairment has not be adequately
