 The relationship between cognitive decline and functional age level has been previously reported. However, these relationships could not be used as everyday clinical decision making tools. This study attempted to find the hidden relationships between the cognitive screening examination and estimated functional age levels by observing the activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The subjects included 182 people 60 years old and over who attended facilities for the aged, such as day care centers or nursing homes. The Revised Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS-R) was used to estimate the cognitive level. Cognitive levels were classified into four groups: normal, subnormal, moderate dementia and severe dementia. Functional age level was determined by observing the highest ADL/IADL level. ADL/IADL evaluation was based on the child development order. To analyze the relationships between cognitive level and functional age level, Peason's correlation coefficient test and simple regression analysis were used. A very high correlation was found between the HDS-R score and functional age (y = 0. 953, p<0. 05). The relationships between two variables can be simply expressed as follows.

 Functional age (year) =1.731e0.058HDS-R score, HDS-R (score) =-8 927+16.829 loge Functional age (R2=0.982, p<0.01). Cognitive decline and functional age decline (ADL/IADL function) were found to have a high correlation. HDS-R and ADL/IADL are both easy clinical standard assessments for function observation, and can be used to predict each other. Therefore, occupational therapy goal setting can be easily done to meet realistic functional levels through using cognitive information.
