General practitioners in the UK have reported that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is easy and fast to administer, with a high yield in identifying cognitive impairments. The test is commonly used to detect early signs of cognitive decline, such as in patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. MoCA has been found to be a valuable tool for general practitioners in quickly assessing cognitive function in their patients, allowing for timely interventions and treatment plans. The ease of use and effectiveness of the MoCA make it a valuable tool in primary care settings for evaluating cognitive health.
