Moca test score interpretation3/29/2024 Excellent correlations between the MoCA and the memory criterion measures ( r=0.66, PExcellent correlations between the MoCA total scores and the Dementia Rating Scale (correlation coefficient ( r)=0.77, PFor example, 20-21 on the MoCA is equivalent to 26 on the MMSE.Īlzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (Lam et al, 2013) Lower MoCA scores were associated with higher MMSE scores.Researchers used equipercentile equating to find comparable scores between the MoCA and the MMSE, resulting in conversion scores.Cut-off scores on the MMSE can be reliably compared with scores on the MoCA.The MoCA had better sensitivity (100%) identifying subjects with MCI who were diagnosed with dementia at a six month followup, than the MMSE with sensitivity of 25%.Īlzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (Raolf et al, 2013) (Smith et al, 2007 From a population in a memory clinic: 32 subjects diagnosed with dementia 23 subjects with mild cognitive impairment 12 comparison subjects mean age 73.6 (10) years mean MMSE score at baseline 27.4 (1.6) mean MoCA score 22.3 (3.6)) Based on the results, the recommended Cut-off subscores for the MoCA included.A cutoff score of ≤ 22 points showed good sensitivity (96%) and specificity (88%).Īlzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (Lam et al, 2013 N=107 mean age 72 (10.3) mean 14.5 (3.8) years of education 14.5 Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) n=75 Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) n=32 mean MMSE score 24.9 (2.7) mean DRS score 124 (11.2)).The cutoff score of ≤ 24 points on the MoCA showed good sensitivity for detecting MCI (95%) specificity improved slightly (63%).The cutoff score had low specificity (31%).
