Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The effects of sex and handedness on financial capacity performance remain unexplored both in healthy older adults and in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to study the effect of the above factors (sex, handedness, and health condition), following a factorial experimental design; hence, eight groups (each with ten individuals) with similar demographic characteristics (age and education level) were formed consisting of right/left-handed, women/men and healthy/not healthy (with a diagnosis of aMCI) older adults. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was administered as a measure of general cognitive ability, and Legal Capacity for Property Law Transactions Assessment Scale (LCPLTAS) was used as an indicator of financial capacity; moreover, GDS-15 was used to assess depressive symptomatology. Self-reports of hand preference were also included.
UNASSIGNED: Although as expected healthy men and women regardless of their handedness outperformed aMCI patients on MMSE and LCPLTAS, performance on cash transactions, bank statement management, bill payment, financial decision making, and knowledge of personal assets from LCPLTAS is significantly higher for right-handed aMCI women compared with left-handed aMCI women.
UNASSIGNED: Future research should further elucidate the reasons for this left-handed female patient with aMCI profile in larger groups of patients. This is an exploratory study, and the small sample size limits the strength of conclusions; further studies on this topic are needed.

摘要：
■在健康的老年人和遗忘型轻度认知障碍（aMCI）患者中，性别和惯用手对经济能力表现的影响仍未被探索。
■本研究的目的是研究上述因素的影响(性别，用手,和健康状况)，遵循阶乘实验设计；因此，8组（每组10人）具有相似的人口统计学特征（年龄和教育水平）组成的右/左撇子，女性/男性和健康/不健康（诊断为aMCI）的老年人。迷你精神状态检查(MMSE)作为一般认知能力的衡量标准，和财产法交易法律能力评估量表(LCPLTAS)被用作财务能力的指标；此外，GDS-15用于评估抑郁症状。还包括手偏好的自我报告。
尽管正如预期的那样，健康的男性和女性，无论他们的利手如何，在MMSE和LCPLTAS上都优于aMCI患者，现金交易的表现，银行对账单管理，账单支付,财务决策，与左撇子aMCI女性相比，右撇子aMCI女性对LCPLTAS的个人资产知识明显更高。
■未来的研究应进一步阐明这种左撇子女性患者在更大的患者群体中出现aMCI特征的原因。这是一项探索性研究，小样本量限制了结论的强度；需要对此主题进行进一步的研究。
