Objec&ve: To provide normaQve data for healthy younger adults performance on the EgypQan-Arabic modified Addenbrooke’s CogniQve ExaminaQon-III (m-ACE-III) and to invesQgate the effects of age, gender and educaQon on test performance. Background: The ACE-III (2012) is a brief cogniQve ba]ery that assesses various aspects of cogniQon. Its 5 subdomains (A]enQon and OrientaQon, Memory, Verbal Fluency, Language, and VisuospaQal AbiliQes) are commonly impaired in Alzheimer disease and frontotemporal demenQa. Methods: We translated and adapted the ACE-III (2012) to the EgypQan populaQon. We evaluated this modified version on 77 cogniQvely healthy volunteers (50.6% men, 49.4% women) aged between 20 and 59 years. We straQfied the parQcipants both by age (20 to 34, 35 to 44, and 45 to 59 years) and by degree of educaQon (educaQon of university degree or above, or less than a university degree). None of the parQcipants had any complaints of cogniQve decline or history of neurological or psychiatric illness and none fulfilled the DiagnosQc and StaQsQcal Manual-IV criteria for depression. Results: The table below shows the performance of normal subjects on different subscales of EgypQan mACE.
Analysis of the effect of age, gender and educaQon on the performance on m-ACE, showed that age had a negaQve influence verbal fluency (p<0.05), visuo-spaQal performance (p<0.05), and total m-ACE III scores (p<0.05), while degree of educaQon had a posiQve 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 adapQng the ACE-III in the EgypQan-Arabic populaQon, we were able to establish normaQve data in healthy younger EgypQan adults. The performance of healthy younger adults on the EgypQan-Arabic Modified Addenbrooke’s CogniQve ExaminaQon-III (m-ACE-III) is significantly influenced by the degree of educaQon and, to a lesser extent, by age, but not by gender.
