91.3% age-matched normal elderly controls. Using the criterion of one or more impairments in any of eight memory indices, 20% of MCI patients and 35% of normals were misclassified when the cut-off used was 1.5 SD below the expected mean values. Conclusions: A combination of widely used memory measures demonstrated both high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing patients with MCI-AD from normal community-dwelling elders. The use of a 1.5 SD below expected means as the criterion for impairment was appropriate for combinations of two or perhaps three tests, but for combinations of four or more memory measures a 2.0 SD cut-off was optimal.
