EVALUATION OF A TEN-QUESTION MENTAL TEST IN THE INSTITUTIONALIZED ELDERLY

K. N. QURESHI and H. M. HODKINSON

Northwick Park Hospital and Clinical Research Centre Harrow, Middlesex

An abbreviated mental test of ten questions of orientation and memory derived from the longer Roth-Hopkins test, was evaluated in a group of elderly institutionalized patients. The shorter test proved more convenient and acceptable and gave results which were closely comparable to the longer test. This modified test is recommended as being suitable in assessing the elderly in institutional care.
