Study variables
Independent study variables were: age, sex, years of education, number
of diagnosed diseases, number of prescribed drugs, diagnosis of
hypertension and diagnosis of diabetes.
Dependent study variables were: points obtained after applying the MoCa
or MoCA B test, points obtained in the mini-cog, points in the
Lawton-Brody instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).
Using Excel 2010 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA) we recorded
for each patient the points obtained after performing each test, as well
as socio-demographic variables, diagnosed diseases and prescribed drugs.
We did not use any personal information. All data were identified by an
alphanumeric code, according to The General Data Protection Regulation
(UE) 2016/679.
