Abstract EN
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Chinese-Language Los Angeles version (MoCA-ChLA) was developed and administered during an in-home interview to 1,192 participants (mean age 62.5 years, mean education 11.6 years) in a population-based Chinese American Eye Study (CHES) in Los Angeles.
The MoCA-ChLA score (mean ± SD) was 23.8±4.2 with little ceiling and no floor effects.
The score increased with higher education, decreased with advancing age, and was not related to gender.
Compared to the education 1–6 years group, the mean MoCA-ChLA score was 2.6 and 4.6 higher in the education 7–11 and 12–20 years groups, respectively.
The Mandarin- (n=612) and Cantonese- (n=612) speaking subgroups performed comparably; Cronbach's alpha of the MoCA-ChLA score was 0.78 and 0.79 for these two groups, respectively.
Item response theory analysis showed good discriminating power for executive function and memory.
These properties support the MoCA-ChLA as a useful screening tool for aging and dementia studies for Mandarin or Cantonese speakers.
