The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is an episodic memory test that is influenced by demographic variables, such as age, education, and gender. Classic word list learning has also been well documented to be an experimental cognitive paradigm that is very useful for the detection of Alzheimer's disease. The present study analyzed the performance of healthy elderly subjects on the RAVLT, describing the effects of age, education, and gender. To verify its construct validity, the RAVLT was compared with delayed recall and recognition scores on the Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (DR-BCSB). The sample comprised 183 cognitively healthy elderly subjects from outpatient care units of two university reference centers in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil. All participants were subjected to physical and neurological evaluation and neuropsychological assessment. Pearson's correlation and Student's t-test were used to investigate the influence of demographic variables on RAVLT performance. To verify convergent-type construct validity, a correlation between RAVLT and DR-BCSB scores was calculated. Significant correlations were found between age and ∑A1-A5 (r = -.383, p < .01), A5-A1 (r = -.054, p < .01), A7 (r = -.361, p < .01), and REC A (r = -.288, p < .01). Educational level correlated with ∑A1-A5 (r = .405, p < .01), A5-A1 (r = .184, p < .01), A7 (r = .334, p < .01), and REC A (r = .329, p < .01). No correlation was found between gender and RAVLT performance. A significant correlation was also found between RAVLT and DR-BCSB performance (r = .5, p < .01). These results revealed some normative data and convergent-type construct validity of the RAVLT for a Brazilian elderly population.

“…El nivel educacional e intelectual también fue similar entre los grupos. Entre las pruebas neurocognitivas basales, sólo la puntuación del test Aprendizaje Verbal Auditivo de Rey (RAVLT; evalúa memoria de fi jación y aprendizaje reciente, susceptibilidad a la interferencia, memoria a medio plazo y benefi cio del reconocimiento [38][39][40] ) fue diferente entre ambos grupos, siendo más alta en el grupo que presentó DCPO (P = 0,028, Mann-Whitney U-test, Tabla 2). Las características perioperatorias también fueron similares entre ambos grupos, al igual que los tiempos de extubación y de estancias hospitalaria y UCI (Tabla 3).…”

“…La puntuación del RAVLT basal fue la única diferencia signifi cativa entre los grupos estudiados (Tabla 2). Concordante con un estudio previo 63 , las puntuaciones más altas se relacionaron con menor estancia en UCI (Figura 1), explicable por las mejores actitudes de aprendizaje y memoria en estos pacientes 38 . Finalmente, la ateromatosis aórtica no fue diferente entre los grupos con y sin DCPO.…”

IMPORTANCE Cross-sectional studies have shown that combined low muscle mass and strength are associated with cognitive impairment. Whether low muscle mass, reflective of physiologic reserve, is independently associated with faster cognitive decline remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between low muscle mass and cognitive decline in 3 distinct domains among adults aged at least 65 years. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging is a prospective population-based cohort study of community-dwelling adults. Enrollment occurred from 2011 to 2015 with a 3-year follow-up. Analyses for this study were conducted on those aged at least 65 years from April 24 to August 12, 2020. EXPOSURE Appendicular lean soft tissue mass (ALM) was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Low ALM was identified using the sex-specific Canadian cut points. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Memory was assessed using the Rey auditory verbal learning test. Executive function was assessed using the mental alternation test, Stroop high interference (words/dot) test, the animal fluency test, and the controlled oral word association test. Psychomotor speed was assessed using computer-administered choice reaction time. Composite scores by domain were created. RESULTSOf 8279 participants, 4003 (48%) were female, 8005 (97%) were White, and the mean (SD) age was 72.9 (5.6) years. A total of 1605 participants (19.4%) had low ALM at baseline.Participants with low ALM were older, had lower body mass index and physical activity level. The presence of low ALM at baseline was associated with faster 3-year cognitive decline in executive functions and psychomotor speed from multiple linear regressions. After adjusting for covariates including age, level of education, percentage body fat, and handgrip strength, low ALM remained independently associated with executive function decline (standardized β: −0.032; P = .03) only.Low ALM was not associated with memory. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This cohort study found longitudinal associations between lowALM and cognition in aging. Identification of older adults with low muscle mass, a targetable modifiable factor, may help estimate those at risk for accelerated executive function decline. Further longer-term investigation of associations is warranted.
