    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Neurology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • Dementia diagnosis relies on accurate measurement of cognitive and functional decline.
    • Various assessment scales exist, but their suitability for diverse dementia aspects requires scrutiny.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the essential requirements for scales used in dementia detection and measurement.
    • To critically evaluate currently available dementia assessment scales against these defined requirements.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of dementia assessment scale requirements.
    • Comparative analysis of selected dementia scales based on identified criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Specific psychometric and clinical criteria were identified as crucial for dementia scales.
