“…Moreover, in Korea, different versions of the MMSE were developed by different groups [16, 32, 33]. Furthermore, as time goes by, revised and modified versions of the MMSE are derived [34–37, 40]. This study is limited in that we selected only one version of the MMSE per country for comparison.…”

BackgroundThe mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was adapted by individual countries according to their languages and cultures, though it has not been systematically compared. The objective of this study was to compare the linguistic and cultural variations of the MMSE used in various Asian countries. With this, we can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the MMSE and consider using a common version in future international clinical studies in Asia.MethodsWe collected the MMSEs used in 11 Asian nations. After translating those into English, we compared them to understand the differences in the questionnaires with regard to cultural aspects.ResultsMany items may be applicable or comparable with a little modification, for Asian countries. However, attention and calculation and repetition may be incomparable. There were some differences in the contents and the ways to administer.ConclusionsThe lack of consideration of the cultural differences and their influences on the interpretation of the same cognitive test makes cross-cultural studies difficult. Some items of MMSE tasks need readjusting for, if any, multi-national studies. This study might serve as a first step in the development of a standardized cross-cultural cognitive instrument, especially in Asia.

RESUMOEm razão da escassez de pesquisas que investigaram empiricamente a dimensionalidade do Miniexame do Estado Mental (MEEM), este estudo teve como objetivo obter evidências de validade com base na estrutura interna para essa medida por meio de análise de componentes principais (ACP) e de análise fatorial confirmatória (AFC ABSTRACT -Minimental State Examination: Validity evidence based on internal structureStudies that empirically investigate the dimensionality of the Minimental State Examination (MMSE) are few. For this reason, this study aimed to obtain validity evidence based on internal structure for this measure by principal component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The sample of 2,734 community-dwelling elderly people was randomly divided into two groups: PCA (n=1,361) and CFA (n=1,373). In the PCA, a five components solution was the best -School Skills, Guidance, Short Term Memory, MemoryEvocation and Memory -Recognition. Four internal structure models were tested with CFA, including the PCA formed. Three models with a multidimensional structure of five factors and a factor of second order showed satisfactory fit indices, which did not happen with the one-dimensional model. Therefore, the MMSE seems to be a multidimensional measure, but further studies are recommended. Keywords: aging; neuropsychological assessment; factor analysis. RESUMEN -Mini Examen del Estado Mental: evidencia de validez basada en la estructura internaDebido a la escasez de los trabajos que investigan empíricamente la dimensionalidad del Mini Examen del Estado Mental (MEEM), este estudio tiene como objetivo obtener evidencia de validez basada en la estructura interna de esta medida por análisis de componentes principales (PCA) y el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). La muestra de 2.734 adultos mayores residentes en la comunidad se dividió aleatoriamente en dos grupos: ACP (n=1.361) y AFC (n=1.373). En el ACP, una solución con cinco componentes -Competencias en la Escuela, Dirección, Memoria a Corto plazo, Memoria -Evocación y Memoria de Reconocimiento -fue la más apropiada. Cuatro modelos de estructuras internas fueron probados con AFC, incluyendo el formado en la ACP formado. Tres modelos con estructura multidimensional de cinco factores y un factor de segundo orden mostraron índices de ajuste satisfactorios, lo que no ocurrió con el modelo unidimensional. Así, el MEEM parece ser una prueba multidimensional, sin embargo se recomiendan más estudios. Palabras clave: envejecimiento; evaluación neuropsicológica; análisis factorial.

“…Previous studies have reported that the MMSE total score was affected by age and education, and normative data were provided for age and education [2,[38][39][40]. In a Korean version of the MMSE (MMSE-K) [34], 4 additional points were given to illiterate patients.…”

Evaluation of a Japanese version of the Mini‐Mental State Examination in elderly persons

Abstract: We found that the MMSE had multiple cognitive areas. We showed that the MMSE could be used as an essentially unidimensional measure of cognitive ability and the question about orientation to time might be useful in the simplest assessment to identify cognitive dysfunction.
