Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Results from the 40 participants will be available by July 2024. The MoCA Solo is emerging as a reliable and efficient tool for assessing cognitive impairment in older adults. Preliminary findings will inform its accessibility and usability, offering insights into its feasibility for widespread use in clinical and research settings across varying levels of cognitive impairment.
