Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination: Impairment & Dementia Cutoff Points

As the population ages with increased life expectancy, the prevalence and incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) continue to increase. About 5-8% of Americans aged 60 or above are diagnosed with dementia (WHO, 2020), and 6.7-12.5% of them have MCI (Petersen et al., 2018). The increasing prevalence of MCI and dementia has resulted in increasing comorbidities and associated health care expenditures. Moreover, even with comprehensive treatments, MCI and dementia can significantly impact both patients’ and caregivers’ quality of life. As such, it is critical to diagnose cognitive impairment and prescribe interventions promptly.
