 Background: Early detection of cognitive decline for the elderly may effectively prolong healthy life. Cognitive assessment is essential for early detection of cognitive decline; however, brief procedure and easily interpretable results are required.

 Atm: The aim of this study was to investigate whether brief cognitive assessment aided prediction of cognitive decline in patients with cognitive decline and in healthy subjects.

 Partcipants: The participants were 66 community dwelling elderly (16 men and 50 women); these individuals were not diagnosed with dementia. Their mean (SD) age was 66.1 (6.9) years.

 Methods: Cognitive decline was evaluated using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the revised version of Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS-R). Forward stepwise linear discriminant function analyses were used to examine the discriminative ability of the subscale scores of MMSE and HDS-R, and the selected subscale scores of MMSE and HDS-R were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

 Results: After the forward linear discriminant function analyses, 3-word-recall of MMSE was automatically selected. The optimal cut-off score for the 3-word-recall MMSE test was determined as 1/2; the sensitivity and specificity for this score were 97.9% and 82.4%, respectively.

 Conclusion: These data support the use of the 3-word-recall MMSE test as a potential screening test for cognitive function decline in the community-dwelling elderly.
