AbstractIntroductionTo assess the reliability of short versions of the Australian National University Alzheimer's Disease Risk Index (ANU‐ADRI).MethodsA short form of the ANU‐ADRI (ANU‐ADRI‐SF) was developed by assessing risk and protective factors with single questions where possible and with short forms of sub‐questionnaires where available. The tick box form of the ANU‐ADRI (ANU‐ADRI‐TB) was developed with unique questions for each risk and protective factor for Alzheimer's disease. The short versions were evaluated in an independent community sample of 504 participants with a mean age of 45.01 (SD = 14.85, range = 18–81).ResultsThe short versions demonstrated high reliabilities when compared with the ANU‐ADRI. However, the proportion of misclassification was high for some risk factors and particularly for the ANU‐ADRI‐TB.DiscussionThe ANU‐ADRI‐SF may be considered if less reliable questions from the ANU‐ADRI‐SF can be replaced with more reliable questions from the ANU‐ADRI for risk/protective factors with high misclassification.
