As Hong Kong faces an ageing population boom – the number of people aged 65 or older is expected to double to 2.37 million in two decades – early detection of dementia, which has no cure, is crucial to treatment.
The test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), caught international attention after US President Donald Trump scored full marks in January after his mental state was questioned by US legislators.
