Description
Chukwuanugo Ogbuagu and co-authors trial a tablet based thinking test, TabCAT, in older adults at primary care clinics in southeast Nigeria. Clinics in poorer countries face a rising need to spot dementia early, yet checks are rare in routine visits. Their 2025 study weighs how usable and sound the tool is in that setting.
The study enrolled 207 people with a mean age near 65 years. Schooling ranged from primary level for about half to college level for a small share. More schooling tied to higher scores in memory, speed, executive skill, language, and spatial skill. Rural residents scored higher on those same domains. Sex and place, the authors note, did not add clear effects.
