abstract = {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 $56\%,$ who were relatively highly
educated $(42\%$ attended college and beyond, $36\%$
attended high school or equivalent institutions, $22\%$ had
less than high school education), and had MMSE scores 27.8
± 1.0. Trail Making Test Part B was completed within 300 s
by only 204/385 $(53\%)$ participants. Regression analyses
demonstrated significant associations between age and
education with performance on all or most tests, and between
sex and all CERAD Word List measures and Clock Drawing
Test.The present work provides the first known normative
data for a relatively comprehensive neuropsychological
battery in Vietnamese adults. Performance on all tests was
significantly influenced by age and education.},
