Abstract
One hundred and forty people over the age of 50 randomly sampled from a single-handed British general practice were screened for dementia us ing the Kendrick Cognitive Tests for the Elderly.

The results indicate that there are clear interrelations be tween low but non-dementing scores in memory and speed performance wit h the use of services, mobility levels and chronic disorders.
