abstract="One hundred eighty-two alcoholics were studied using subtests from the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Memory Scale. Alcoholics who displayed antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) were more impaired on the Brain Age Quotient, a summary measure of neuropsychological impairment. Multivariate analyses indicated that presence of ASPD contributed significantly to this impairment, independent of age, length of drinking history or gender. Discriminant analysis using these variables as predictors allowed for clinically useful levels of prediction of neuropsychological impairment in individual subjects.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
