Rezumat	The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a brief, 30-point screening instrument developed by Folstein, Folstein, and McHugh in 1975 to assess cognitive function in clinical settings. It is designed to detect cognitive impairment and monitor cognitive decline over time, particularly in older adults and patients with suspected dementia. The MMSE remains one of the most widely used cognitive screening tools in primary care, neurology, and geriatric medicine worldwide.	The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief 10-minute cognitive screening test designed to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults. Developed by Nasreddine and colleagues in 2005 at McGill University, MoCA is more sensitive to cognitive impairment than the Mini-Cog or MMSE, particularly for detecting early Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer dementias, making it widely used in primary care, neurology, and geriatric medicine.
