Zusammenfassung: | Background
At the cellular level the human body is a bioactive reactor, many symbiotic biochemical reactions are taking place at the DNA level to maintain the integrity of the neurons.
Method
373 patients presented for memory evaluation in the last 5 years. A Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was given as a standard cognitive test for dementia evaluation and part of memory blood panel serum vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and homocysteine were done. Results of the serum blood tests were correlated with MoCA scores. MoCA scoring: Normal (30‐26), Mild (25‐21), Moderate (20‐16), Severe ( |
