Drivers of Below‐Cutoff Scores on Bedside Cognitive Screening in Cognitively Normal Ethnoracially Diverse Adults
Sociodemographic factors continued to drive low MoCA performance in cognitively normal individuals despite applying demographically adjusted cut-off scores by subgroup. These factors differentially impacted performance among BA/AA and WH/L participants. Careful consideration of these factors is warranted to mitigate risk of overdiagnosing impairment based on cognitive screening across clinical and research settings.
