Description
Nilton Custodio and co-authors refine a dementia screening scale for use in Peru. The Rowland scale was built to dodge the pull of culture, language, and schooling, yet school years still sway its scores. Two of its tasks, drawing and judgment, fall flat in rural Peruvian settings.
Their 2025 study swaps those two domains for matched stand-ins that fit local life, making a modified Peruvian version. The new scale is tested on how well it parts healthy controls from patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The head-to-head with the prior Peruvian version shows what the careful swap buys. The aim is a brief screen that travels across cultures without losing its edge.
