Publication Abstract Display | Type: Poster | Title: Sex-based norms in clinical tests of verbal memory might improve diagnostic accuracy in Alzheimer’s Disease. | Authors: Sundermann EE, Maki P, Rubin LH, Mielke M, Machulda M, Bondi M | Date: 02-14-2018 | Abstract:Conclusions:
Earlier reports of a higher rate of aMCI in men may reflect use of conventional cut-scores.
The application of sex-adjusted norms & cut-scores in verbal memory tests may improve diagnostic accuracy for aMCI and identify women at an earlier disease stage when currently available treatments may be the most beneficial. |
