Comparison of the effectiveness of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment 7.2 and the Mini-Mental State Examination in the detection of mild neurocognitive disorder in people over 60 years of age. Preliminary study.

CONCLUSIONS: The MoCA 7.2 detect mild NCD with greater sensitivity than the MMSE. In the case of this tool, we propose the use of 24/25 cut-off point which has a higher sensitivity than the recommended 25/26 cut-off point. The MoCA 7.2 therefore can be used by primary healthcare and in the geriatric practice as a screening tool in detecting early cognitive impairment. PMID: 30584818 [PubMed - in process]
