| Abstract | The Mini-Mental State Examination was translated into Cantonese and administered to 111 normal elderly and 79 demented patients. The scale was found to have good reliability and validity as an instrument to detect cognitive impairment in our locality. A cut-off score of 19/20 is recommended as indication for further evaluation of cognitive impairment. |
