Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores obtained in an ambulatory elderly population were used to examine the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use on cognitive performance. There were 1,310 participants who met the inclusion criteria for the study, of whom 873 (66.6%) were women and 437 (33.3%) were men. There were no differences in mean MMSE scores or in the five dimensions of cognitive function measured by the MMSE for subjects reporting NSAIDs or aspirin use.
