“…To increase the equivalence with the target population and the confidence of the conclusions of this study, we used a representative sample stratified according to the various levels of each sociodemographic variable, with a distribution close to the Portuguese population. The results obtained corroborates the previous normative studies of MoCA (e. g. Kenny et al, 2013;Conti et al, 2016;Konstantopoulos et al, 2016;Kopecek et al, 2017;Pereiro-Rozas et al, 2018;Hayek, 2020) The main limitation of this study, similarly to the previous normative one, was the exclusion of the illiterate subjects. As demonstrated by the results, educational level has a significant impact on the performance of an individual on MoCA.…”

“…This knowledge, associated with the impact that dementia can have on the individual and the people around them, highlight the crucial necessity of detecting early cognitive decline and investing on adequate screening tests, capable of achieving this purpose. At this stage, the impact of the decline is still small and therapeutic interventions may increase the range of operation, which therefore allows the improvement of the quality of life of individuals (Bellevile, et al, 2017;Freitas, et al, 2011;Freitas, et al, 2013;Hayek et al, 2020).…”

“…The rules of interpretation of an assessment instrument, whether it is the MoCA or other, allow the performance of an individual to be compared with a reference group. The definition of norms may include many variables, however, age has been shown to be relevant for the delivery of an individual, since the increase in age is generally associated with a decrease in the performance of an individual in the MoCA (Freitas, et al, 2011;Hayek, et al, 2020).…”

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is an important brief cognitive screening instrument that is known for its good psychometric properties and sensitivity to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI). After ten years, it became relevant to update the previous Portuguese normative study due to changes in the population and some limitations present in the study itself. The MoCA was applied to 860 cognitively healthy adults, stratified according to sociodemographic variables verified in the Portuguese population. The new normative data were defined considering the strata of the variables age and educational level, as these showed to have a large effect size on MoCA scores.

“…However, sex did not remain a significant predictor when entered into our predictive model. Although these results are not in line with in-person MoCA norms in a Quebec-French population [14], they are in line with previous studies that did not observe a significant relationship between sex and the total MoCA score [22][23][24]. An explanation for the difference between our present results and the ones obtained by Larouche and collaborators [15] with the in-person normative data in Quebec-French individuals could be related to male/female ratio differences in both samples.…”

Videoconference version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment: normative data for Quebec-French people aged 50 years and older

Background The COVID-19 pandemic forced health professionals to rapidly develop and implement telepractice and remote assessments. Recent reviews appear to confirm the validity of a wide range of neuropsychological tests for teleneuropsychology and among these, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a cognitive screening test widely used in clinical settings. The normative data specific to the context of videoconference administration is essential, particularly that consider sociodemographic characteristics. Aims This study had for objective to develop French-Quebec normative data for videoconference-administration of the MoCA that consider sociodemographic characteristics. Methods A total of 230 community-dwelling adults aged 50 years and older taking part in clinical trials completed the MoCA by videoconference. Regression analyses were run with sex, education, and age as predictors of the total MoCA scores, based on previously published norms. As an exploratory analysis, a second regression analysis was also run with cardiovascular disease as a predictor. Results Regression analyses revealed that older age and lower education were associated with poorer total MoCA scores, for medium effect size (p < 0.001, R 2 = 0.17). Neither sex nor cardiovascular disease, were significant predictors in our analyses. For clinicians, a regression equation was proposed to calculate Z scores. Discussion This study provides normative data for the MoCA administered via videoconference in Quebec-French individuals aged 50 years and over. Conclusions The present normative data will not only allow clinicians to continue to perform assessments remotely in this pandemic period but will also allow them to perform cognitive assessments to patients located in remote areas.

“…Normative data for MoCA scores have been reported in various populations. The mean MoCA scores that have been reported were 21.8 in Japan over the age of 65 years (Narazaki et al, 2013), 23.4 in Americans over the age of 50 years (Rossetti et al, 2011), between 22 and 27 in Norway over the age of 75 years (Engedal et al, 2022), and 24.2 in Lebanon over the age of 60 years (Hayek et al, 2020). In our country, no normative data have been reported for MoCA for people older than 60 years.…”

The long-term effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are not fully known. In this study, we aimed to evaluate cognitive function and mood changes with 1-year follow-up in the elderly after COVID-19 disease. Ninety COVID-19 survivors and 90 healthy controls were included in the study between April 2022 and 2023. The patients were evaluated at the 1st, 6th, and 12th months for cognition, depression, and sleep quality. Cognitive function is assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), sleep quality by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and depression by the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale. COVID-19 survivors secured lower scores in certain domains of the MoCA in comparison with the controls at the first and sixth months. However, at the 12th month, no difference was observed in total MoCA (p = 0.100), Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale (p = 0.503), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p = 0.907) between survivors and controls. Older patients who recovered from COVID-19 have lower cognitive function compared with controls up to 12 months. However, cognitive function scores were similar at the end of the first year except for memory scores.
