Resumo: | To analyze the cognitive strategies used in the verbal fluency test by healthy elderly without current risk of dementia. Method: Participants of the study were active elderly people, living in the countryside of the state of Sergipe, of both sexes. General identification data and health conditions were collected and the Mental State Mini Exam (MSME) and Verbal Fluency Semantics (VFS) test was applied. People with scores below the cut grade for schooling regarding the MSME were excluded from the survey. The results of these tests were analyzed qualitatively (normal or altered) and quantitatively (general score). In the VFS, the analysis was also performed according to the strategies used by the participant to recall the words (number of categories of animals cited, number of clusters performed (Clustering) and number of exchanges of cognitive strategy (Switching). The results were statistically analyzed by the Pearson correlation test. 33 elderly (25 females and 8 males) participated, with a mean age of 71.6 years old. The mean score in the MSME was 23.6 points and in the VFS it was 12.78 points, with a mean number of category used of 2.9, Clustering of 1.8 and Switching of 1.3. Pearson's correlation test identified important correlations between the VFS results and the number of the animals cited, Clustering and Switching categories used by the participants. Conclusion: Good general cognitive performance and language seems to be related to the cognitive strategies used in VFS, evidencing the importance of using this test in cognitive screening, even in cases of active elderly people. |

Participaram do estudo idosos ativos, residentes no interior do estado de Sergipe, de ambos os sexos. Foram coletados dados gerais de identificação e de condições de saúde e aplicados o teste do Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) e Fluência Verbal Semântica (FVS). Foram excluídos da pesquisa pessoas com pontuação abaixo da nota de corte para a escolaridade para o MEEM. Os resultados destes testes foram analisados de forma qualitativa (normal ou alterado) e quantitativa (pontuação geral). Na FVS também foi realizada a análise de acordo com as estratégias utilizadas pelo participante para evocação das palavras (número de categoria de animais citados; número de agrupamentos realizados (Clustering) e o número de trocas de estratégia cognitiva (Switching). Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste de correlação de Pearson. Participaram 33 idosos (25 do sexo feminino e oito do masculino), com média de idade de 71,6 anos. A pontuação média no MEEM foi de 23,6 pontos e no FVS foi 12,78 pontos, com média de número de categoria utilizada de 2,9, de Clustering de 1,8 e de Switching de 1,3. O teste de correlação de Pearson identificou importantes correlações entre os resultados da FVS e o número de categoria de animais citadas, Clustering e Switching utilizadas pelos participantes. O bom desempenho cognitivo geral e de linguagem parece estar relacionado com as estratégias cognitivas utilizadas na FVS, evidenciando a importância da utilização deste teste no rastreio cognitivo, mesmo em se tratando de idosos ativos.EDUFU2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/4171510.14393/BJ-v36n4a2020-41715Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 36 No. 4 (2020): July/Aug.; 1403-1409Bioscience Journal ; v. 36 n. 4 (2020): julho/agosto; 1403-14091981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/41715/28981Brazil; Contemporary Copyright (c) 2020 Kelly da Silva, Talita Oliveira Rocha, Patrícia Aparecida Zuanetti, Marisa Tomoe Hebihara Fukuda, Rodrigo Dornelas, Raphaela Barroso Guedes-Granzottihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Kelly daRocha, Talita OliveiraZuanetti, Patrícia AparecidaFukuda, Marisa Tomoe HebiharaDornelas, RodrigoGuedes-Granzotti, Raphaela Barroso2022-06-14T13:38:30Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/41715Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-06-14T13:38:30Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
