Abstract
The mental state of 100 female geriatric inpatients (whose physical handicaps did not interfere with the examinations) was related to tests of activities of daily living (ADL) given by the occupational therapist. Of the simple mental assessments used, the mental status questionnaire correlated best with the ADL test results, and could stand on its own as a good predictor of current ability in simple self-care.
