AB  - Normative data of neuropsychological tests in the Vietnamese population is considerably lacking. We aim to evaluate the effects of age, education, and sex on the performance of common neuropsychological tests, and to generate normative data for these tests in cognitively normal Vietnamese adults.Participants were recruited from two hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, with inclusion criteria as follows: age ≥ 40 years, normal cognition and function, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores ≥ 26. Neuropsychological tests were administered in a paper-and-pencil format, including the CERAD Word List, Trail Making Tests, Digit Span, Animal Naming, and Clock Drawing Test. Effects of age, education, and sex on test performance were evaluated using multiple linear regression analyses. Normed scores were reported as regression-based and discrete norms tables.Participants included 385 cognitively normal Vietnamese, with age 61.4 ± 10.9 years (range 40 - 89), female 56
