The latest study concerning SAGE evaluated[1] its effectiveness as a cognitive screening assessment tool in community settings. Researchers evaluated over 1,000 participants over the age of 50 from 45 community events. The scores on the test range from 22 — indicating normal cognition — to 15 — signifying mild cognitive impairment — and a score below 14 may indicate the presence of dementia.
The study found that when the test was given to its participants from over 45 different events:
- The average score for SAGE was 17.8%
- 71.6% of the people that took the test had normal cognition
- 10.4% had mild cognitive impairment
- 18% had dementia
