Implication

Cross-sectional study demonstrates superior reflection of cognitive reserve by MoCA over MMSE in healthy adults, suggesting enhanced utility for detecting early cognitive decline.

Key Points

To assess whether the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) reflects cognitive reserve and whether its sensitivity exceeds that of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
Administered the MoCA, MMSE, and Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq) to 221 healthy participants.
Identified normative data and associated demographic factors for the MoCA.
Performed correlation and regression analyses comparing MoCA and MMSE scores against CRIq total and subscale scores.
MoCA significantly reflected total CRI (B = 0.076, P < 0.001), CRI-Education (B = 0.066, P < 0.001), and CRI-Working activity (B = 0.025, P = 0.042).
MMSE significantly reflected total CRI (B = 0.044, P < 0.001) and CRI-Education (B = 0.049, P < 0.001), but failed to reflect CRI-Working activity.
MoCA demonstrated significantly greater sensitivity than the MMSE in reflecting total cognitive reserve (Z = 2.30).
