The aim of the study is to validate a french version of the 5 minutes version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment as compared to the french full version of this test.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) is a test used to detect cognitive impairments. This test is available in different languages including french. A short version (the 5 minutes MOCA) has also been validated through a phone call use that allows to develop some epidemiological approaches. Nevertheless, this short version has not been validated in french. The main aim of the study is to validate the french translation of the short version of the MOCA as compared the the full french version of the test. To validate the short version, several groups of subjects will be included : healthy subjects, Alzheimer disease patients, Parkinson or Huntington diseases patients as well as diabetic patients. The inclusion of both healthy subjects and patients with different types of cognitive impairments will allow to validate the short version of the test. All subjects and patients will first be submitted to the full version of the MOCA during a face to face procedure. Thirty to forty days later, they will be submitted to the short version of the test through a phone call performed by an independent rater. Subgroups of healthy subjects and patients will also be used to determine the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the short version of the MOCA.
