Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment cut ‐off score to clarify improvement of mild cognitive impairment after exercise training in community‐dwelling older adults
ConclusionsThe MoCA‐J cut‐off score of 23 might be useful to predict cognitive function that is potentially reversible to normal among community‐dwelling Japanese older adults with MCI. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; ••: ••–•• (Source: Geriatrics and Gerontology International)
