The present study was to evaluate the Koch's Baumtest (Tree Test) in a quantitative way for different age levels (Study 1) and dementia levels (Study 2). A total of 90 healthy subjects, 50 young (20-26 years old), 20 middle (35-51 years), and 20 (65-82 years) aged, were given tree tests in Study 1, the tree drawn by each subject being measured in space usage The results obtained showed that the space usage by young subjects was significantly larger than that of middle and aged subjects. In Study 2, a total of 75 aged subjects, 35 light (MMS, 30-24), 26 middle (MMS, 23-16), and high (MMS, 16-0) dementia level, were tested. The drawing space by light dementia level subject was significantly larger than that of middle and high dementia level. While the trunk length measured from ground to the lowest branch compared to the total height of tree for the aged subjects was larger than the young subjects in our earlier study, no tendency appeared to dementia level. Some clinical remarks concerning the tree test examples were also given in relation to dementia level.
