Why the study?

Whether the Cogstate Brief Battery is beneficial for assessing brain function in older Japanese adults remained unclear.

Is the Cogstate Brief Battery associated with traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging in older Japanese adults?

Population

170 community-dwelling older Japanese adults with normal cognitive function or mild cognitive impairment

Design

Cross-sectional study

Key result

The Cogstate Brief Battery score was significantly associated with MoCA-J and MMSE scores in all participants, and with hippocampal atrophy in the amyloid-positive group.

Overview

CBB correlates with MoCA-J/MMSE in Japanese elders; supports validation studies but leaves open routine clinical use.

Structured PICO

Is the Cogstate Brief Battery associated with traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging in older Japanese adults?

P
Population
170 community-dwelling older Japanese adults with normal cognitive function or mild cognitive impairment.
E
Exposure
Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB)
O
Outcome
Association of the CBB score with the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J), Japanese version of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), hippocampal atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging, and brain amyloid deposition on 11 C-Pittsburgh compound-B positron emission tomographysurrogate

The Cogstate Brief Battery correlates well with traditional cognitive tests and imaging markers, suggesting it is a useful tool for assessing cognitive decline in older Japanese adults.

Ataka et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Normal cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment (n=170). Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB) vs. Traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging was evaluated on Association of the CBB score with MoCA-J, MMSE, hippocampal atrophy, and brain amyloid deposition. The Cogstate Brief Battery score was significantly associated with MoCA-J and MMSE scores in all participants, and with hippocampal atrophy in the amyloid-positive group.
