Montreal Cognitive Assessment Is Superior to Standardized Mini-Mental Status Exam in Detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Middle-Aged and Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Table 2

Baseline characteristics by MCI status based on the European consortium criteria*.

Baseline characteristics	MCI present (𝑛=15)	MCI absent (𝑛=15)	𝑃 value
Age (mean/SD)	60.7 (7.9)	59.1 (6.2)	0.52
Male sex	9/15 (60.0%)	7/15 (47.7%)	0.46
Duration of diabetes (in years/SD)	3.3 (4.2)	5.8 (7.1)	0.24
Insulin	4/15 (26.7%)	8/15 (53.3%)	0.14
Oral agents	11/15 (77%)	14/15 (93%)	0.12
Education (mean/SD)	11.1 (1.2)	11.2 (1.4)	0.79
SMMSE (mean/SD)	29.4 (0.7)	29.3 (1.4)	0.87
MoCA (mean/SD)	25.6 (2.2)	27.3 (3.0)	0.09
DSM IV-depression score (mean/SD)	1.60 (1.18)	0.86 (1.25)	0.11
Functional decline (ADL/IADL)	0/15 (0%)	1/15 (7%)	1.0*

∗The differences in the means of continuous variables were tested by 𝑡-tests. With discrete variable, the differences in the proportions were tested by chi-square tests except that Fisher’s exact test was used to test the differences in the functional decline.
