MOCA AND MMSE IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT
Journal Title: Psychiatria i Psychoterapia - Year 2011, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Memory impairment is a physiological phenomenon which is found in 60% of population older than 65 years. Diagnosis of the risk of dementia is a crucial clinical and social issue. The prevalence of dementia among elderly (older than 65 years) is estimated at 10-11%. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are known to be a good precursor of dementia. MCI is placed between normal aging and dementia. Cognitive dysfunctions found in this group will progress to dementia in about 15% of cases within a year. The specific criteria for the MCI include: 1). the person is neither normal nor demented, 2) there is evidence of cognitive deterioration shown by either objectively measured decline over time and/or subjective report of decline by self and/or informant in conjunction with objective cognitive deficits, 3) activities of daily living are preserved and complex instrumental functions are either intact or minimally impaired. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Assessment Cognitive (MoCA) are used as a screening test for cognitive functions. Conclusions: MoCA can be used in screening of mild cognitive impairment.
