%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>To estimate the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the new Spanish abbreviated version of the Luria Neuropsychological Diagnosis (DNA-2) battery for older adults.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A total of thirty cognitively healthy volunteers were examined in this study. The participants completed a comprehensive standardized assessment, encompassing cognitive and functional performance. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to examine test-retest and inter-rater reliability. One month was allowed between administrations. Furthermore, correlations between Luria DNA-2 (total and domain subscores) and other classical cognitive measures were explored.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The test-retest reliability on the overall Luria DNA-2 score was high (ICC= .834, 95% CI [.680, .917], p < .001). Furthermore, the inter-rater reliability for the total score demonstrated an excellent concordance between administrators (ICC= .990, 95% CI [.979, .995], p < .001). Positive and significant correlations were observed between Luria DNA-2 (both total and domain subscores) and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III; ρ = .857, p < .001).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This study supports the adequate reliability of the Luria DNA-2, as an abbreviated neuropsychological battery, for assessing cognitive performance in Spaniards aged 55 years and older. Future studies should continue to explore the psychometric properties of the Luria DNA-2, particularly those related to its diagnostic validity for early detection of cognitive impairment.
