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.
