Abstract
IntroductionThe Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) is frequently used in clinical practice to evaluate cognitive function. It is quick to administer (20-30minutes) and is not influenced by a learning effect. The RBANS includes 4 parallel versions and has a high discriminative ability.Our study provides normative data from the RBANS-E (Spanish-language version of RBANS form A) for a Spanish population aged 20-89 years. MethodsThe study included 609 subjects aged 20-89 years. Participants were evaluated at baseline with a short interview, a cognitive screening test (Mini–Mental State Examination), and a functional scale (Rapid Disability Rating Scale). The RBANS-E was then administered to all 609 participants. ResultsOur results show the influence of education on all subtest scores. Sex was observed to have no impact on any subtest. ConclusionOur study provides highly useful normative data for the cognitive evaluation of young and adult populations.
