Abstract

Introduction: Immediate clinical diagnosis of cognitive disorders in older adults can cause timely intervention. The goal of this study was to investigate the executivecognitive functions of Iranian older adults using clinical measures.Method: This cross sectional study with categorical random sampling was conducted on 150 ELDERLY people in Qom Province in 2007 (Iran- Qom). Research instrument included mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical tests of evaluation of cognitive executive functions of FRONTAL LOBE (Trail Making Test, Verbal Fluency Test and Digit Span Test). ANOVA and Independent T-Test were used for statistical analysis.Results: Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) affected by age, gender and education (P<0.01). The efficiency of other used tests had no difference in both genders (P>0.05). Semantic verbal fluency and working memory had higher performance in lower age and higher education (P<0.01). Psychomotor speed (Trail Making Test; first part), showed significant correlation with education (P<0.01), but cognitive flexibility (Trail Making Test; first part) did not show any significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusion: Working memory performance is reduced with increasing the age and in all cognitive evaluations concerning cognitive functions the role of education should be taken into account. Education is a protector factor against cognitive deterioration resulted from senescence.
