About this trial

The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most widely used cognitive screening and monitoring test for neurocognitive disorders in current clinical practice. Its French version was published in 1998 by the GRECO group (MMSE-GRECO). However, some items of this French version are not adapted to local Reunionese particularities.

The main objective is to propose and validate the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the MMSE, to the Reunionese culture (MMSE-RUN) in a healthy population and in a sick population (Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Cognitive Disorder), and to compare its performance with the MMSE-GRECO.
