Abstract
Men performed better than women on the memory and on the naming test. However, due to floor effects in the paragraph memory test in 85Â year olds, these results can be disputed. The high rate of abnormal results on the Token Test, PaSMO, Clox, and the cube copying tests in cases with normal cognition indicate that these tests are less suitable for screening in the age group. Impaired result on the Stroop test increased the risk more than two-fold for cognitive decline after 1Â year.
