TL;DR
A neuropsychological algorithm developed in a sample of elderly residents of Cache County, UT may reasonably classify individuals on dementia status across a range of severity levels and ages and may provide a useful adjunct to clinical diagnoses in population studies.

Neuropsychological algorithms may reasonably classify individuals on dementia status across a range of severity levels and ages and may provide a useful adjunct to clinical diagnoses in population studies.

The Clinical Dementia Rating (CRD) was developed for a prospective study of mild senile dementia—Alzheimer type (SDAT), and was found to distinguish unambiguously among older subjects with a wide range of cognitive function.
NeurologyAssociation of apolipoprotein E allele ϵ4 with late‐onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease
3,780 Citations1993Ann M. Saunders, Warren J. Strittmatter +12 more
Data support the involvement of ApoE epsilon 4 in the pathogenesis of late-onset familial and sporadic AD and suggest it may operate as a susceptibility gene (risk factor) for the clinical expression of AD.
PubMedThe Modified Mini-Mental State (3MS) examination.
2,676 Citations1987Evelyn L. Teng, Helena Chui
The Modified Mini-Mental State (3MS) incorporates four added test items, more graded scoring, and some other minor changes to sample a broader variety of cognitive functions, cover a wider range of difficulty levels, and enhance the reliability and the validity of the scores.

Findings suggest that cerebrovascular disease may play an important role in determining the presence and severity of the clinical symptoms of AD.
Psychological MedicineThe Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE): socio-demographic correlates, reliability, validity and some norms
1,124 Citations1989Anthony F. Jorm, P. A. Jacomb
The questionnaire was found to have high internal reliability in the general population sample and reasonably high test-retest reliability over one year in the dementing sample, and the total IQCODE score, as well as each of the 26-items, was finding to discriminate well between the generalpopulation and dementing samples.

Findings indicate that even “questionable” dementia can be diagnostic for Alzheimer's disease, and because truly normal aging may be unaccompanied by neocortical senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the presence of these lesions should suggest the possibility of clinically undetected Alzheimer's Disease.

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias in relation to age, education, sex, and genotype at APOE was examined in the 5,677 elderly residents of Cache County, Utah, a population known for long life expectancy and high participation rates.

The findings suggest that the neuropsychological battery may have utility in the diagnosis of dementia, however, neuro psychological performance may be influenced by education, and some form of adjustment, such as correction for activities of daily living, may be required in epidemiological studies.

The paradigm was more likely than the physician to give the diagnosis of dementia to patients with low educational levels, and the physician's diagnosis was strongly influenced by measures of functioning and by the mental status test administered in the semistructured neurological examination.
