“…In this study, a systematic process of adaptation of ACE-III, that included involvement of a multidisciplinary expert group, incorporation of culturally relevant stimuli, translation, back-translation, rescaling of scores and piloting ensured the development of a culturally appropriate cognitive screening instrument. ACE-III in India has been adapted and validated into one Indian language, Gujarati (Sharma, Chaudhary, Sheth, & Dalal, 2018). Our version of ACE-III is largely similar to the Gujarati version of ACE-III.…”

“…Indian languages are also official languages in (Mathuranath et al, 2007;Rosli, Tan, Gray, Subramanian, & Chin, 2016;Yang, Chey, Kim, & Kim, 2002). Among the brief cognitive tests, MMSE, ACE-R and ACE-III have been adapted and validated for use in India, but typically in only one or two languages, thereby limiting wider applicability (Alladi et al, 2016;Mathuranath et al, 2007;Mathuranath et al, 2004;Sharma, Chaudhary, Sheth, & Dalal, 2018).…”

Objective With the rising burden of dementia globally, there is a need to harmonize dementia research across diverse populations. The Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) is a well-established cognitive screening tool to diagnose dementia. But there have been few efforts to standardize the use of ACE-III across cohorts speaking different languages. The present study aimed to standardize and validate ACE-III across seven Indian languages and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the test to detect dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the context of language heterogeneity. Methods The original ACE-III was adapted to Indian languages: Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Tamil, and Indian English by a multidisciplinary expert group. The ACE-III was standardized for use across all seven languages. In total, 757 controls, 242 dementia, and 204 MCI patients were recruited across five cities in India for the validation study. Psychometric properties of adapted versions were examined and their sensitivity and specificity were established. Results The sensitivity and specificity of ACE-III in identifying dementia ranged from 0.90 to 1, sensitivity for MCI ranged from 0.86 to 1, and specificity from 0.83 to 0.93. Education but not language was found to have an independent effect on ACE-III scores. Optimum cut-off scores were established separately for low education (≤10 years of education) and high education (>10 years of education) groups. Conclusions The adapted versions of ACE-III have been standardized and validated for use across seven Indian languages, with high diagnostic accuracy in identifying dementia and MCI in a linguistically diverse context.

“…[9][10][11][12] While MMSE and HMSE are brief cognitive tests that were developed and established for use in India, they are often available only in one or two languages, restricting their application. 10,13 The original version of MoCA has also been translated into Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, and Urdu. 14,15 However, only the Hindi and Malayalam versions of MoCA have been validated to screen MCI and Parkinson's disease.…”

“…The Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE), Hindi Mini‐Mental State Examination (HMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Dementia Assessment Rapid Test (DART), Mini Cog, Picture‐based Memory Intelligence Scale, and the revised Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS‐R) are some of the widely used brief cognitive screening tools in LMICs 9–12 .

Introduction and Objectives: Early dementia diagnosis in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) is challenging due to limited availability of brief, culturally appropriate, and psychometrically validated tests. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is one of the most widely used cognitive screening tests in primary and secondary care globally. In the current study, we adapted and validated MoCA in five Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam) and determined the optimal cut-off points that correspond to screening for clinical diagnosis of dementia and MCI. Methods: A systematic process of adaptation and modifications of MoCA was fulfilled. A total of 446 participants: 214 controls, 102 dementia, and 130 MCI were recruited across six centers. Results: Across five languages, the area under the curve for diagnosis of dementia varied from 0.89 to 0.98 and MCI varied from 0.73 to 0.96. The sensitivity, specificity and optimum cut-off scores were established separately for five Indian languages. Conclusions: The Indian adapted MoCA is standardized and validated in five Indian languages for early diagnosis of dementia and MCI in a linguistically and culturally diverse population.
