SAGE developers tested the test on 1,047 people over the age of 50 who participated in 45 different social events.. In 28 percent of them, according to the results of testing, cognitive impairment was detected..

The authors expect that the results of the first SAGE can be used by physicians as a starting point for monitoring the patient's brain function, and that regular testing repetitions will help diagnose cognitive impairment at the very initial stage and start therapy on time..

Tests have shown that the SAGE features of self-administration with only pen and paper, which does not require the involvement of administrative staff and the use of a computer, make the test suitable for rapid simultaneous mass screening of large groups of people..
