In this study, the prevalence of low scores for two neuropsychological tests of language has been determined. In total, <i>N</i> = 5218 healthy adults from 11 countries in Latin America (LA) were administered the Boston Naming Test (BNT) and the Verbal Fluency Test (VFT) as part of a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. <i>Z</i>-scores were calculated for BNT Total score, and phonological (letters <i>F</i>, <i>A</i>, <i>S</i>, <i>M</i>) and semantic (Animals, Fruits). Scores were adjusted for age, age², sex, education, and interaction variables if significant for the given country. Each <i>Z</i>-score was converted to a percentile for each of the seven test-scores. Each participant was categorized based on his/her number of low scoring tests in specific percentile cutoff groups (25th, 16th, 10th, 5th, and 2nd). Between 53% (Paraguay) and 71% (Mexico) of the sample had at least 1-score below the 25th percentile, and between 41% (Paraguay) and 55% (Cuba) scored below the 16th percentile. Between 27% (Paraguay) and 39% (Peru) scored below the 10th percentile on at least 1-score, and between 17% (Chile) and 23% (Argentina) scored below the 5th percentile. Clinicians should use these data to reduce false-positive diagnoses and to improve the neuropsychological assessments in Spanish-speaking individuals from LA countries.
