| contents | Cognitive impairments in older adults represent a significant public health concern, necessitating accurate diagnostic and monitoring strategies. In this study, the principal cognitive and neuropsychological evaluations employed for the diagnosis and longitudinal observation of cognitive deficits in the elderly are investigated. An analytical review of instruments including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Trail Making Test (TMT) is conducted. This examination encompasses an assessment of each instrument's methodology, efficacy, advantages, and limitations. The objective is to enhance comprehension of these assessments for the early identification and effective management of conditions such as dementia and mild cognitive impairment, thereby contributing to the advancement of cognitive health within the geriatric population. |
