    Abstract:
    A multidisciplinary study was performed on 128 elderly subjects living in retirement facilities to correlate the occurrence of neurological signs with the presence of physical or metabolic risk factors, and cognitive impairment. Primitive reflexes were significantly correlated with ankle/arm ratio, Hachinski dementia score, Plutchik GRS score, and hypomimia. The contemporary presence of snout reflex, glabella tap, and palmomental reflex was consistently associated with dementia.
