![]() ![]() This study was aimed at validating the Filipino version of AD8 (AD8-P).Ĭommunity-dwelling Filipino older persons aged ≥60 years, together with their informants, participated in this study. ![]() It also replicates methods previously used and demonstrates how these methods can be used for the cultural adaptation of other cognitive tests. This paper details our development of cultural adaptation guidelines for the MoCA that future adaptors can use to adapt the MoCA for their own languages or cultures. ![]() We combined data from the scoping review and the adaptors’ feedback to form the guidelines that state how each question of the MoCA has been previously adapted for different cultural contexts and the reasoning behind it. We received 17 responses from adaptors on their cultural adaptation procedures, with rationale justifying them. Our scoping review found 52 publications and highlighted seven steps for translating the MoCA. We also distributed questionnaires to adaptors of the MoCA for data on the procedures they undertook to culturally adapt their respective versions. We extracted their translation and cultural adaptation procedures. We conducted a scoping review of publications on different versions of the MoCA. We followed previously used methodology for culturally adapting cognitive tests to develop guidelines for translating and culturally adapting the MoCA. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is one such test that has been adapted for multiple cultures. They require adaptation that accounts for language and culture beyond translation. Despite this, cognitive tests used to provide a timely diagnosis for these conditions demonstrate performance bias in these groups, because of cultural context. ![]() This study proved the importance of practicing religious activities among the elderly in achieving healthy aging.Įthnic minorities in countries such as the UK are at increased risk of dementia or minor cognitive impairment.
