Background: Available researches in geriatric population show a high prevalence of cognitive impairment, dependency in activities of daily living (ADL), pain, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The focus of this study was to find out the possible age/gender variations in cognitive linguistic performance of geriatric population living in old age homes.
Methods: The total numbers of participants selected for the study were 60 normal elderly persons residing at old age homes, between the age group 55-95 years. The participants were grouped on the basis of age and gender.
Results: The results show that no difference between male and female participants occurred for the total scores in all the domains. Moreover, results of individual subtests revealed that the gender effects were not consistent across the different subtests in a domain.
