Validation of ICMR Neurocognitive Toolbox for Dementia in the Linguistically Diverse Context of India

Conclusions: The ICMR-NCTB is a valid instrument to diagnose dementia across five Indian languages, with good diagnostic accuracy. The toolbox was effective in overcoming the challenge of linguistic diversity. The study has wide implications to address the problem of a high disease burden and low diagnostic rate of dementia in LMICs like India.
