title: Immunoglobulin levels and intellectual functioning in the aged.
abstract: Significant positive correlations between vocabulary test scores and serum levels of immunoglobulins, IgG and IgM, were obtained for 14 subjects ranging in age from 83-100 years (mean 89.0 years). This positive association with vocabulary scores is a result contrary to data reported by other investigators. The interrelationship between measures of behavior, central nervous system and immunologic function deserve further attention.
