Introduction The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was developed as a brief screening instrument to detect Mild Cognitive Impairment.(1) It is a paper-and-pencil tool that requires approximately 10 minutes to administer, and is scored out of 30 points. There are now guidelines for periodic evaluation of patients with diabetes as early detection of complications of the disease, but so far there are no similar assessment and monitoring of cognitive function. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): Concept and Clinical Review 1. Diabetes type 2 increases with age and studies suggest that the diabetes is one of the risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia.Īlthough there is much recent research showing that diabetics at every age have more cognitive impairment and dementia than non-diabetics, relatively little attention has been paid to the implications of this complication in the management of T2D in terms of screening, prevention, education and treatment adherence. T2D and cognitive impairment are two of the most common chronic condition found in persons 60 years and older. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was designed as a rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction. Why Should I Register and Submit Results?.
