          Abstract

          Introduction

          Diagnosing neurocognitive disorders is challenging in low-educated individuals.

          Objective

          To report normative data for the Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (BCSB) and to assess the association of age and education with performance on the BCSB in 240 community-dwelling elderly from Ermelino Matarazzo, São Paulo city.

          Methods

          The inclusion criteria were scoring above the education-adjusted cut-off points on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and below six points on the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS).

          Results

          Age was associated with performance on the Naming, Incidental Memory, Verbal Fluency, Clock Drawing Test, Delayed Recall and Recognition subtests. Education was associated with performance on Naming, Recognition, Verbal Fluency and the Clock Drawing Test.

          Conclusion

          The normative values reported are relevant for diagnosing neurocognitive disorders in low-educated elderly.

          Introdução

          O diagnóstico de transtornos neurocognitivos é desafiador na presença de baixa escolaridade.

          Objetivo

          Relatar dados normativos para a Bateria Breve de Rastreio Cognitivo (BBRC) e avaliar a associação da idade e da escolaridade com o desempenho na BBRC, em 240 idosos residentes na comunidade em Ermelino Matarazzo, município de São Paulo.

          Métodos

          Os critérios de inclusão foram pontuação acima de pontos de corte ajustados para escolaridade no Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) e abaixo de seis pontos na Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (EDG).

          Resultados

          A idade esteve associada aos subtestes Nomeação, Memória Incidental, Fluência Verbal, Teste do Desenho do Relógio, Memória Tardia e Reconhecimento. A escolaridade associou-se à Nomeação e Reconhecimento, Fluência Verbal e Teste do Desenho do Relógio.

          Conclusão

          As normas reportadas são relevantes para o diagnóstico de transtornos neurocognitivos em idosos com baixa escolaridade.

          [The Mini-Mental State Examination in a general population: impact of educational status].

          To assess the influence of age and education on cognitive performance in our population, 530 adults were interviewed using the MMSE (Mini-Mental Status Examination). Education level, classified as illiterate, elementary and middle ( 8 years), was a significant predictor of performance (p or = 65 years). The reference cut-off values were taken from the fifth percent lowest score for each group: illiterate, 13; elementary and middle, 18; and high, 26. When compared to 94 patients with cognitive impairment, our cut-off values achieved high sensitivity (82.4% for illiterates; 75.6% for elementary and middle; 80% for high) and specificity (97.5% for illiterate; 96.6% for elementary and middle; 95.6% for high educational level). Education-specific reference values for the MMSE are necessary in interpreting individual test results in populations of low educational level, in order to reduce the false positive results.
