Baseline cognitive function was established for a study of pre-symptomatic cognitive decline in 1870 men from the general population aged 55-69 years as part of the third examination of the Caerphilly Study. Cognitive assessment included the AH4. a four choice serial reaction time task, a modified CAMCOG, MMSE. NART and various memory tests. Distributions and relationships with age, social class, education and mood at time of testing are presented for a younger population than has previously been available. Multiple linear regression showed cognitive function to be independently associated with all four factors. The age effect was equivalent to one half of a standard deviation (SD) in CRT and AH4 scores. Only the NART score was not associated with age, supporting the use of NART score as an estimate of prc-morbid IQ. The largest age adjusted differences between men with low and normal mood were for the AH4 (3 points, t=5.6. p
