This study aimed to examine the clinical utility of the Korean version of the Older Adult Behavior Checklist (OABCL) focusing on depression, anxiety, and dementia, which are the most common mental health problems among elderly people. In total, 92 patients older than 60 years were included in the study. The neuropsychological evaluation included the following instruments: The Mini Mental Status Examination-Korean version (MMSE-K), the Korean-Beck Anxiety Inventory (K-BAI), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). One-way ANOVAs compared the depression (DP, n= 56), anxiety (AN, n= 18), and dementia (DM, n= 18) groups regarding all OABCL subscales. Diagnostic groups differed significantly on several subscales, and post-hoc tests revealed that the AN group showed significantly lower scores than the DP and DM groups on Functional impairment, Memory/cognition, and DSM–dementia problems. Furthermore, the AN group presented a significantly lower score on DSM-depressive problems than the DP group. Discriminant analysis revealed that the discriminant function classified 82.4% of DP and AN, and also 91.7% of AN and DM correctly. Implications for clinical utility and suggestions for further research are also discussed.
