Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The original Oral Assessment Sheet (OAS) will be translated and culturally adapted into Turkish following accepted cross‑cultural guidelines. Adults aged 60 and older who speak Turkish will undergo oral examinations using the Turkish OAS. The study will perform statistical analyses of reliability (e.g., internal consistency, interrater reliability) and validity (e.g., content and construct validity). Results will determine whether the Turkish OAS is a reliable, standardized tool for use in Turkish clinical and research settings.
