The population of older people with dementia is expected to increase concurrently with global aging. The number of people aged older than 65 years is increasing worldwide.

Steinborn, University of Wuerzburg, GERMANY The Q mci-TW may be a useful clinical screening tool for a spectrum of cognitive impairments.Ĭitation: Lee M-T, Chang W-Y, Jang Y (2018) Psychometric and diagnostic properties of the Taiwan version of the Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment screen. The MoCA exhibited the highest accuracy in differentiating MCI from NC, followed by the Q mci-TW and then MMSE whereas, the Q mci-TW and MMSE exhibited the same accuracy in differentiating dementia from MCI, followed by the MoCA. The optimal cut-off score on the Q mci-TW for differentiating MCI from NC was ≤ 51.5/100 and dementia from MCI was ≤ 31/100. The Q mci-TW exhibited satisfactory test–retest reliability, internal consistency, and interrater reliability as well as a strong positive correlation with results from the MoCA and MMSE. For analysis, we used Cronbach’s α, intraclass correlation coefficient, Spearman’s ρ, Kruskal–Wallis test, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and multivariate analysis, as appropriate. Their results on the Q mci-TW, Taiwanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Traditional Chinese version of the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) were compared. Thirty-one participants with dementia and 36 with MCI and 35 NCs were recruited from a neurology department of regional hospital in Taiwan. This research aims to evaluate the psychometric and diagnostic properties of the Taiwan version of Q mci (Q mci-TW) screen and to explore the discriminating ability of the Q mci-TW in differentiating among normal controls (NCs), MCI and dementia. In this study the investigators examine cognitive function in young diabetic patients (from 20 to 55) using the MoCa test, that allows detection of mild cognitive impairment, and may be carried out during a visit, an annual advisory diabetes clinic.There is a need for a screening tool with capacities of accurate detection of early mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia and is suitable for use in a range of languages and cultural contexts. 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. 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. Why Should I Register and Submit Results?.
