In study 2, based on the results of the study 1, the usefulness of the MMSE-2 and the K-MMSE (Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination) (Kang et al., 1997) was compared to determine which test is more sensitive in discriminating between healthy older adults and patients with MCI or AD. The results showed that the MMSE-2 can be used as a valid and reliable screening measure for assessing cognitive impairment in clinical settings in a Korean population, but its ability to distinguish patients with MCI from healthy older adults may not be as highly sensitive as expected. (2010) was translated into Korean and then investigated the reliability and validity of the MMSE-2 whether this test is reliable in distinguishing between healthy older adults and patients with MCI or AD.

In study 1, the MMSE-2 developed by Folstein et al. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the MMSE-2 by translating into Korean and also to investigate the usefulness of the MMSE-2 in Korea through five studies. Therefore, it is expected to be more sensitive than the MMSE in discriminating patients with MCI or early stage of dementia.

김상윤.Ībstract The Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd edition (MMSE-2) (Folstein et al., 2010) is developed to secure the disadvantages of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (Folstein et al., 1975), the one of the most widely used cognitive screening test in clinical trials, including the story memory test that allows more detailed evaluation of verbal memory than the MMSE, and the processing speed test that can measure the executive function of the frontal lobe.
