Reference data for derived Trail Making Test scores in Greek healthy population
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The Trail Making Test (TMT) via part B (TMT-B) has been widely used in the evaluation of the executive functions [1]. Apart from the direct scores (time to complete part A and B), derived TMT scores (B-A, B/A, B-A/A) are more and more used, as sensitive measures of prefrontal functioning [2-4]. The aim of the present study was to provide reference data from a large sample of Greek healthy participants in derived TMT scores.

Normative data from 363 community-dwelling older adults (60-89 years) is presented in relation to performance on the Trail Making Test. Age and years of education were identified as significantly impacting on performance. Therefore, data are presented for four separate age groups (60-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80-89) and two different lengths of education. In addition to data for Trails A and B, informa...
