“…The largest study of adults in the USA was Mayo’s Older African Americans Normative Studies (MOAANS; e.g., Ferman et al., 2005 ; Harris et al., 2002 ; Lucas et al., 2005 ). However, the NEURONORMA project ( Aranciva et al., 2012 ; Calvo et al., 2013 ; Casals-Coll et al., 2013 ; Casals-Coll et al., 2014 ; García-Escobar et al., 2021 ; Palomo et al., 2013 ; Peña-Casanova et al., 2009 ) was the most well-represented for the Spanish-speaking adult population together with the Alegret study ( Alegret et al., 2012 ) and NORMALATINA-Adults project published in a special issue by Arango-Lasprilla ( Arango-Lasprilla, 2015 ; Guardia-Olmos et al., 2015 ). Within children’s studies in 2017, a group led by Arango-Lasprilla and Rivera conducted the NORMALATINA-Children project, which was the most relevant ND study for Spanish-speaking children (aged 6–17) from Latin America and Spain published in a special issue ( Arango-Lasprilla & Rivera, 2017 ; Rivera & Arango-Lasprilla, 2017 ).…”

Objective To quantify the evolution, impact, and importance of normative data (ND) calculation by identifying trends in the research literature and what approaches need improvement. Methods A PRISMA-guideline systematic review was performed on literature from 2000 to 2022 in PubMed, Pub-Psych, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria included scientific articles about ND in neuropsychological tests with clear data analysis, published in any country, and written in English or Spanish. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were included. Bibliometric analysis was used to examine the growth, productivity, journal dispersion, and impact of the topic. VOSViewer compared keyword co-occurrence networks between 1952–1999 and 2000–2022. Results Four hundred twelve articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most studied predictors were age, education, and sex. There were a greater number of studies/projects focusing on adults than children. The Verbal Fluency Test (12.7%) was the most studied test, and the most frequently used variable selection strategy was linear regression (49.5%). Regression-based approaches were widely used, whereas the traditional approach was still used. ND were presented mostly in percentiles (44.2%). Bibliometrics showed exponential growth in publications. Three journals (2.41%) were in the Core Zone. VOSViewer results showed small nodes, long distances, and four ND-related topics from 1952 to 1999, and there were larger nodes with short connections from 2000 to 2022, indicating topic spread. Conclusions Future studies should be conducted on children’s ND, and alternative statistical methods should be used over the widely used regression approaches to address limitations and support growth of the field.

Background: Neuropsychological assessments are essential to define the cognitive profile and contribute to the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The progress in knowledge about the pathophysiological process of the disease has allowed conceptualizing AD through biomarkers as a biological continuum that encompasses different clinical stages. Objective: To explore the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD and cognition using the NEURONORMA battery, in a sample of cognitively unimpaired (CU), mild cognitive impaired (MCI), and mild dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) subjects, and to characterize the cognitive profiles in MCI subjects classified by A/T/N system. Methods: 42 CU, 35 MCI, and 35 mild DAT were assessed using the NEURONORMA battery. Core AD biomarkers [amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) peptide, total tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau181)] proteins were measured in CSF. Correlation coefficients, multivariate regression, and effect sizes were calculated. We explored the age- and education-adjusted cognitive profiles by A/T/N variants within the MCI group. Results: Cognitive outcomes were directly associated with CSF Aβ42 and inversely with CSF tau measures. We found differences in both biomarkers and cognitive outcomes comparing all pairs except for CSF measures between cognitively impaired groups. The highest effect size was in memory tasks and the biomarkers ratios. Lower performances were in memory and executive domains in MCI subjects with AD pathology (A+T+N±) compared to those with normal levels of AD biomarkers (A– T– N). Conclusion: This study provides further evidence of the validity of Spanish NEURONORMA cognitive battery to characterize cognitive impairment in the AD pathological continuum.
