The second factor was related to memory: temporal orientation, delayed recall and spatial orientation.
The second factor explained 9.2% of the variance and included temporal orientation, delayed recall and spatial orientation.
All-cause mortality also decreased with increases in MMSE subscale scores for time orientation, place orientation, delayed recall, naming objects, and listening and obeying.
Total mortality was increased not only with a decrease in global MMSE scores but also with decreases in subscale scores of MMSE, ie, time orientation, delayed recall of words, naming objects, place orientation, and listening and obeying.
All participants had a cognitive examination which included orientation, delayed recall, an assessment of attention and concentration (days of the week backwards), an assessment of language ability based on a structured conversation and ability to follow complex commands.
Brugnolo et al [ 21] also found two factors: their first factor was related to temporal orientation, delayed recall, attention/concentration, constructional praxis, spatial orientation and verbal comprehension and their second factor was related to reading a sentence, writing a sentence, naming, immediate memory and verbal repetition in a study of patients with mild to moderate AD.
In plants displaying the most severe phenotype, these aberrations included severe stunting, darker green and purplish leaves characteristic of anthocyanin accumulation, thicker leaves in the abaxial/adaxial orientation, delayed flowering, shortened inflorescence internodes, reduced apical dominance, and numerous unexpanded siliques with no or very few seeds.
The second factor, orientation and delayed recall, expressed the ability to handle new information.
The first factor included attention/concentration, language and constructional praxis and the second comprised time-space orientation and delayed recall.
With Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparison, significant associations between total mortality and one MMSE subscale point were only found for time orientation and delayed recall of words.
Among Japanese dementia patients, MMSE subtests are grouped into three main factors (immediate memory, orientation and delayed recall, working memory), which explain 44.6% if the variance.
