Popis: Background and Aim The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is the most suitable measure for screening cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the utility of the MoCA has not been documented sufficiently, especially in Asian populations. The present multicenter study included a large number of Japanese patients, and compared Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and MoCA scores in PD patients. Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study. Idiopathic PD patients (n = 304; age 70.6 ± 8.3 years (mean ± SD); disease duration 6.6 ± 5.1 years; Hoehn and Yahr stage 2.7 ± 0.7) were registered at 13 participating hospitals, and their clinical/neurological/cognitive features were examined using Japanese versions of the MMSE and MoCA. Results The MMSE and MoCA scores were 26.3 ± 3.6 (range 12–30) and 20.9 ± 5.0 (range 5–30), respectively, and showed a strong correlation (R2 = 0.74, P
