Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of cognitive domain indices from the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)—including orientation, attention, language, visuospatial ability, memory, and executive function—in predicting dementia progression over a period of 2 to 3 years. The participants included 43 individuals with amnestic multiple domain Mild Cognitive Impairment (amMCI), 41 with MCI in Parkinson’s disease (PD-MCI), and 40 with vascular MCI (VaMCI). All participants completed the Korean version of the MoCA, and analyses were conducted using binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The results indicated that language was a significant predictor of dementia progression in amMCI, while attention, visuospatial ability, and executive function were significant predictors in PD-MCI. In VaMCI, both language and visuospatial indices were found to predict dementia progression. These findings suggest that MoCA cognitive domain indices are valuable for predicting dementia progression, with predictive domains varying across different MCI subtypes.
