“…Considering specific diagnosis, CI prevalence found in the present study was higher than that found in a Brazilian community report on this issue (1.6%) (20) . Dementia prevalence was much higher than in other Brazilian studies (range from 7.1% to 7.2%), being this finding already expected (21)(22)(23) . It is known that MCI diagnosis is the basis for early detection of CI, although there is no consensus about this diagnostic process improvement.…”

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a sensibilidade e a especificidade diagnósticas, e a concordância da Escala de Avaliação de Demência, com diagnóstico clínico de comprometimento cognitivo, e compará-las com as do Miniexame do Estado Mental. MÉTODOS: Oitenta e seis idosos de uma instituição de longa permanência foram convidados a participar do estudo e, destes, 58 concordaram em fazê-lo. A avaliação continha Miniexame do Estado Mental e Escala de Avaliação de Demência. O diagnóstico clínico de comprometimento cognitivo foi realizado por especialistas que utilizaram os critérios do DSM-IV. Escores da Escala de Avaliação de Demência e do Miniexame do Estado Mental foram correlacionados e suas sensibilidade e especificidade, obtidas. RESULTADOS: Vinte e dois (37,9%) idosos tinham comprometimento cognitivo (8,6% apresentaram comprometimento cognitivo leve e 29,3% demência). O Miniexame do Estado Mental e a Escala de Avaliação de Demência classificaram 31% e 55,2% como apresentando comprometimento cognitivo. Os escores da Escala de Avaliação de Demência e do Miniexame do Estado Mental tiveram uma forte correlação. A Escala de Avaliação de Demência teve uma sensibilidade maior do que o Miniexame do Estado Mental (86,4% versus 61,9%) e a especificidade foi menor (63,9% versus 86,5%). A concordância diagnóstica da Escala de Avaliação de Demência e do Miniexame do Estado Mental com a o diagnóstico clínico foi similar. CONCLUSÃO: A Escala de Avaliação de Demência mostrou uma sensibilidade maior na detecção de comprometimento cognitivo na população estudada e poderia ser um instrumento útil para aplicação em instituições de longa permanência.

Prevalence of dementia among elderly Brazilians: a systematic review

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The rapid growth of the elderly population in Brazil has implied a significant rise in the number of individuals with dementia.The real prevalence of this disease needs to be ascertained in order to establish appropriate measures for improving the quality of life of those affected. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dementia among elderly Brazilians (≥ 60 years) through a systematic review of highquality, population-based, double-blind studies published between 1990 and 2010. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review of prevalence studies. The manuscript was produced in the School of Medicine, Universidade de Brasília. METHODS:Database searches for articles were conducted in Medline (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Embase (Excerpta Medica database), Lilacs (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and theses and dissertations, using specific keywords. Quality was assessed according to eight criteria for sampling and measurement of findings. RESULTS:Out of 112 articles identified, eleven were included in the qualitative synthesis. In five higher-quality studies from São Paulo, the prevalence rates ranged from 5.1 to 19.0%. No meta-analysis was presented because of heterogeneity among the studies. Poor, illiterate, female and very elderly individuals were the groups most affected. CONCLUSION:The findings from this review did not reflect the reality of the whole country. Although the results brought some information on the prevalence and distribution of dementia in Brazil, cross-sectional studies with consistent methodology are needed. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados desta revisão não refletem a realidade de todo o país. Embora os resultados mostrem informações sobre a prevalência e a distribuição da demência no Brasil, estudos transversais com metodologia consistente precisam ser realizados.

Objective This study aims to present normative data for Fuld Object Memory Evaluation test stratified by sex, gender, age, and education for the Brazilian elderly population. Method We evaluated 2.132 healthy elderly both genders, with a mean age of 70.30 years (± 7.28) from two community-based samples in Brazil drawn from different economic areas who were screened with cognitive and functional tests and the memory test. Statistical analyses were performed by independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression. Results Statistical analyses showed that memory scores tend to improve significantly with increasing years of education and decrease significantly as age increased. Conclusion We conclude that gender, education and age had effect on the Fuld Object Memory Evaluation performance in this Brazilian community-based sample.
