Abstract :
The needs and importance of the simple screening examination for dementia have risen recently. In the present study, we corrected the patients of Alzheimer´s disease, and performed the standard examination for dementia and a simple computerized touch panel-type screening test for the early diagnosis of dementia (touch panel-type screening test), and compared the scores. There is a good correlation MMSE score and a simple computerized touch panel-type screening test by single regression analysis. And so, a simple computerized touch panel-type screening test is very useful for assessment of dementia.
