Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment as Tools for Following Cognitive Changes in Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Participants.

Background: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are two commonly used cognitive screening and diagnostic tools.

Objective: Our goal was to assess their efficacy for monitoring cognitive changes, as well as the correlation between the two tests.

Methods: At baseline, participants in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were divided into four groups based on their cognitive diagnoses: healthy control (HC), early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI), late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
