Objective: To provide normative data for healthy younger adults performance on the Egyptian-Arabic modified Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (m-ACE-III) and to investigate the effects of age, gender and education on test performance.
Background: The ACE-III (2012) is a brief cognitive battery that assesses various aspects of cognition. Its 5 subdomains (Attention and Orientation, Memory, Verbal Fluency, Language, and Visuospatial Abilities) are commonly impaired in Alzheimer disease and frontotemporal dementia. Methods: We translated and adapted the ACE-III (2012) to the Egyptian population. We evaluated this modified version on 77 cognitively healthy volunteers (50.6% men, 49.4% women) aged between 20 and 59 years. We stratified the participants both by age (20 to 34, 35 to 44, and 45 to 59 years) and by degree of education (education of university degree or above, or less than a university degree). None of the participants had any complaints of cognitive decline or history of neurological or psychiatric illness and none fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV criteria for depression.
Results: The table below shows the performance of normal subjects on different subscales of Egyptian mACE Analysis of the effect of age, gender and education on the performance on m-ACE, showed that age had a negative influence verbal fluency (p<0.05), visuo-spatal performance (p<0.05), and total m-ACE III scores (p<0.05), while degree of education had a positive effect on all the m-ACE-III subscales along with the total m-ACE III score (p<0.05). Gender did not affect any m-ACE-III scores.
Conclusions: By adapting the ACE-III in the Egyptian-Arabic population, we were able to establish normative data in healthy younger Egyptian adults. The performance of healthy younger adults on the Egyptian-Arabic Modified Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (m-ACE-III) is significantly influenced by the degree of education and, to a lesser extent, by age, but not by gender.
