“…The results of this study seem to be in line with previous validation studies using the MoCA. First, the MoCA Tamil (Sri Lanka) mean scores for the diagnostic groups were similar to the ones presented in the original study (Nasreddine et al, 2005).Second, the MoCA-Tamil (Sri Lanka) demonstrated adequate test-retest reliability and high internal consistency and these were similar to the studies of MoCA validation by Nasreddine et al, 2005;Gil, Vega, Ruiz de Sanchez, & Burgos, 2013;Karunaratne et al, 2011;Yu et al, 2012. As shown in Table 3. 'Cronbach's Alpha if item removed' is a measure of examining the relationship between individual item and the total scale.…”

“…The Spanish version of the MoCA validation used scores of ≥23 with the optimal sensitivity (89%) and specificity (79.8%) (Gil et al, 2013). In the Beijing version of the Chinese MoCA validation, the cut-off score for the optimal sensitivity and specificity to detect MCI appeared to be ≥/22 for the MoCA-BJ, at which the sensitivity and specificity were 68.7% and 63.9% respectively (Yu et al, 2012).…”

The study aimed to develop the Tamil (Sri Lanka) version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and investigate its reliability and validity as a brief screening tool for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Tamil-speaking Sri Lankan older adults with normal cognition and MCI were recruited from a neurology clinic. Adaptation of the English MoCA to the Tamil (Sri Lanka) involved contextspecific content modification and translation. The content validity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of the tool were evaluated. Study participants were 184 older adults, comprising 85 with normal cognition and 99 neurologist-diagnosed MCI. The tool had high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.83). ROC curve analyses showed an area under the curve of 0.87 (95% CI 0.83-0.91) for detecting MCI. The optimal cutoff score for detection of MCI was 23/24, yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 84.7% and 76.4%, respectively. The Tamil (Sri Lankan) version of the MoCA maintains its core diagnostic properties rendering

“…Based on the weight and height, we calculated body mass index (BMI) = weight/height 2 (kg/m 2 ). Emotional and psychosocial tests included the Mini-Mental State Examination (O’Bryant et al , 2008) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (Gil et al , 2013). The Hachinski Ischemic Scale (Moroney et al , 1997) was used to exclude vascular dementia and VMCI.…”

Objective: To examine the association between sleep duration in different stages of life and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Design, setting, and participants: A total of 2472 healthy elderly and 505 patients with aMCI in China were included in this study. The study analyzed the association between aMCI and sleep duration in different stages of life. Measurements: We compared sleep duration in different stages of life and analyzed the association between Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores and sleep duration by curve estimation. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between aMCI and sleep duration. Results: In the analysis, there were no results proving that sleep duration in youth (P = 0.719, sleep duration < 10 hours; P = 0.999, sleep duration ≥ 10 hours) or midlife (P = 0.898, sleep duration < 9 hours; P = 0.504, sleep duration ≥ 9 hours) had a significant association with aMCI. In the group sleeping less than 7 hours in late life, each hour more of sleep duration was associated with approximately 0.80 of the original risk of aMCI (P = 0.011, odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval = 0.68–0.95). Conclusions: Among the elderly sleeping less than 7 hours, there is a decreased risk of aMCI for every additional hour of sleep.
