title: [Prevalence of the dementia syndrome among elderly people in an urban area. A pilot study].
abstract: Data was collected from a group of 100 randomly selected subjects from a city population above the age of 65 years. The aim of the research was to prove the reliability and validity of the research tools: the Folstein's MMSE and the Blessed's IMC. Thirty subjects were eliminated from the sample the remaining 70 were grouped according to gender for further analysis. The intergroup correlation indicated a high reliability of both tests. The hypothesis about the normal distribution of both groups was supported. In eleven subjects the results indicated the existence of a dementia syndrome f not great severity.
