Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment cut‐off score to clarify improvement of mild cognitive impairment after exercise training in community‐dwelling older adults

Physical exercise improves cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, information about whether the degree of MCI before exercise training affects improvement in cognitive function is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the cut‐off value in a MCI screening tool that predicts reversal to normal cognitive function after exercise training in older adults with MCI.
