The MoCA-B appears to have excellent validity and addresses an unmet need by accurately screening for MCI in poorly educated older adults regardless of literacy. Administration time was 15 to 21 minutes. The optimal cutoff score of 24 out of 25 yielded 81% sensitivity and 86% specificity for MCI (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.90, P <. Setting: A community clinic and an academic center. MoCA-B scores did not differ significantly according to literacy, and multiple regression suggested no association with age or education. Objectives: To develop a 10-minute cognitive screening tool (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA) to assist first-line physicians in detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a clinical state that often progresses to dementia. 001) and 26.6 ± 2.0 for literate controls and 23.0 ± 2.1 for literate participants with MCI (P <. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widespread and concise screening tool for the assessment of cognitive impairment that has had a significant impact. Mean MoCA-B scores were 26.3 ± 1.6 for illiterate controls and 21.3 ± 3.8 for illiterate participants with MCI (P <. To assess the validity of a newly developed cognitive screening tool, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B), in screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly adults with low education and varying literacy.Ĭognitively normal controls (n = 43) and individuals with MCI according to the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association work group criteria (n = 42) aged 55 to 80 with less than 5 years of education.
